I found this a while back on one of the RaQ help sites.. works a trick

Log in via ssh then

ls -Al /home/spool/mail/* | grep "\-rw\-*" | gawk {'print $5" "$3'} | grep 
^[1-9]

You can then navigate to /home/spool/mail and

less username and read the mail without disturbing it as far as being 
read/new or whatever..

Actually it is not necessary to read it, you can tell if there is mail in 
the spool just by looking at the file size.
