mail

Sometimes when opening your terminal, it will say:

You have new mail.

This is usually just noise. A local dev environment probably tried to send email and failed because cron wasn’t configured.

Usage

# Enter the `mail` program
mail

# Read a message (by its number)
5

# Delete a message (by its number)
delete 5

# Delete all messages
delete *

# Exit the `mail` program
