View Full Version : How do I read new mail in Terminal?

Hello -

I know this is a Mac OS X question and is nothing directly to do with Path Finder - but this is a friendly forum so I am wondering whether someone can help anyway. I have tried elsewhere and not had an answer.

Using the terminal window in PF (or just a regular terminal window) I get the message 'You have new mail'.

What is that?? How do I see the mail??

That is a great feature of PF by the way - what a great program!

Thanks,
Andrew

Moved to Anything Goes, as this isn't a Path Finder support issue,

Thanks and sorry Neilio -

I must admit though - I was sure I had put it in anything goes - must have been a slip of the mouse.

On Terminal if you see "you got mail" simply type

mail

it will run sort of console client that you can use with commands. Just type:

help

in it.
