I suspect that my shell's not telling me what my pwd is in the prompt and some mistaken assumptions on my part might be a good bunch of my problem. :)
To that effect:
$ echo $PS1 \u@\h\$
Though I kinda lied; I said "mkdir mail" assuming my pwd was "~" when in fact I didn't know what actual my pwd is, rather than a "mkdir ~/mail". As such, that phantom message appeared in my inbox.
Since this is not a production machine (well, yet, anyway), I wiped things and tried again. Things appear to be OK now.
Sorry about making you go through a Stupid Moment(R) of mine and thanks for the tips. :)
