In csh, the default .cshrc (/usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc), it's set:
set mail = (/var/mail/$USER)

... could be changed to:
set mail = (~/Maildir)



++ 21/01/01 04:01 +0100 - Roelof Osinga:
>[...]
>:setenv=MAIL=/home/$/Maildir/,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\

Remember, this is overidden in system-wide profiles (/etc/profile and
/etc/csh.cshrc) and user dotfiles (~/.[bash_]profile, ~/.cshrc, ~/.bashrc)
all depending on the shell the user logs in with.

What shell does the user have? 

>[...]
>nl:~$ grep MAIL *
>nl:~$

Note that the '*' pattern won't catch dot files.
electron [292] % grep -i mail *
grep: No match.
electron [293] % grep mail .cshrc
        set mail = (/var/mail/$USER)
electron [294] %

Yes, that should work too.  See also:
