- NetHack can check for new mail via a mail daemon if compiled with -DMAIL and OPTIONS=mail is set.
- The mail daemon delivers a scroll of mail to the player, which can be read using a specified mail program (MAILREADER).
- The author uses the Lisp window port to play NetHack and prefers not to leave Emacs, integrating mail with mu4e.
- A cron job converts maildir to mbox format, checking for new messages and touching the mbox file if new mail is found.
- A script opens mu4e in Emacs using emacsclient, ensuring only one process accesses mu’s database and behaves correctly inside or outside Emacs.
