I struggled with this for a little while, and came up with the following:

mailpath=(
  /var/mail/tibbs\?'New unfiltered mail.'
  ~/Mail/spool\?'New spooled mail: ${${_%.spool}#/home/tibbs/Mail/spool/}.'
)

I have something like fifty mail spools, each looking like
/home/tibbs/spool/zsh.spool.  This will report "New unfiltered mail" for
mail in the system spool directory, and will extract the name of the spool
form the other spool directories.
