Subject: If 'export $MAIL=$HOME/Mail/inbox/' and display-time-mail-function do not work fine?

User-agent: Mutt/1.5.17 (2007-11-01)

In my .bashrc
If I  export $MAIL=$HOME/Mail/inbox/'
whenever the directory $HOME/Mail/inbox/new have file or not, mode-line will 
always display
have new mail. It ignore display-time-mail-directory

And I set $MAIL=/var/mail/$USER or $MAIL=xxxxxx(do not exit). In .emacs add 
"(setq display-time-mail-directory "~/Mail/inbox/new/")"
everything work fine.

WHY?
