[SOLVED] you have new mail

sloun · 10-15-2012, 02:33 AM

Hello.

In my Debian sid:

Every time I've loggin in terminal I have message 'you have new mail' with the same mail each time.
In my other linux machine when I read some mail (in the same way) it's marked as read and don't show me that message 'you have new mail'.

Need some help about this.

You've tried running 'mail', typing the number of the emails which are new, pressing enter, (optionally reading them), then typing 'q' and pressing enter again?

Yes, I've read each message. Although I've reconfigure bsd-mailx. This didn't help.

You might try using alpine.... mail can be kind of hard to use.

You will need to install it first:

apt-get install alpine

Then just run: alpine

Acknowledge the opening message and then you can clearly see and interact with your mail.

(All the messages with a "N" on the left are New and unread)

Thanks, this tool is more useful. And problem is solved, this is a mail (8.1.2) bug.
