You have new mail


After installing Linux RH, on some system, i end up logging in and having that 'You have new mail' message.
How do i check it if i do?

It is not always there, is it some aplication that i installed?

It's some kind of default thingy RH installs. This message only appears if there is new mail since the last mail check.

You can read the mail by using the command mail (or install a real mail-client like pine)...
