How do I make my new updated Debian bullseye v11.3's bash always check for new local e-mails?

[Ant]

Hello.

How do I make my new updated Debian bullseye v11.3's bash always check
for new local e-mails? In the older Debian versions' bash, it used to do
that when I was in its command prompt. Now, it just checks when I log
into bash.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Your question is unclear and obviously based upon a misunderstanding of
both the technology and the terminology. Therefore, we have no idea
what you mean.

GNU Bash ("Bourne Again SHell") is a command-line UNIX shell that acts
as a command interpreter and a script interpreter, although I believe
that Debian would be preferring Dash ("Debian Almquist SHell") as its
default script interpreter if no other shell was specified in the
hash-bang line of the script.

One either way does not log into Bash — or for that matter, Dash — and
it also does not check for email; it doesn't even know what email is.

it also does not check for email; it doesn't even know what email is.

In the older Debian versions, its bash used to notify me of new local
e-mails.

Yes it does. Have a look at the MAILCHECK variable and its friends
(which might also be the route to solving the OP’s problem).
