Every time I open the Terminal, I get the "You have mail." message, but I do not have any mail. When I run MAIL it reads, "No mail for myusername". I have tried several methods to prevent this from occurring every time I use the Terminal, including adding unset MAILCHECK to my bash profile.

/var/mail/<username>There were two blank lines in
/var/mail/<username>and removing them solved the problem.Also, deleting the
<username>directory in/var/mailwill fix this.
