How to remove the New Mail message?

as400 · 04-01-2007, 11:35 AM

Everytime my users telnet to my Solaris box, and after they
login, they always see the "YOU HAVE MAIL" How can I remove this??
I even removed and deleted all the mails that I had in the built in
Mail client which is accessed from the workspace menu. It still says
"You Have Mail"

Thanks in advance.

If the message is displayed, these users have unread mail(s). You should check what these mails are first and properly remove them.

If you really want it, you can comment out the message in /etc/profile.

Like I said, all are emptied out in the /var/mail/myusrmane directory when I choose that Mail application from the workspace panel from my desktop.

Ok, I did it. I got rid of it.

ALso as I do not want to open up a new thread I might as well ask here this:

Another question - Everytime I set the size of the fonts in the
Terminal Console but when I open it again, It sets back to the default
settings. I also clicked on APPLY AND OK also but still goes back to
its original settings. I also did this as root and still cannot able
to do it.

There is no simple way.

Try adding the following line:

Code:

Dtterm*userFont: -dt-interface user-medium-r-*-*-*-240-*-*-m-*-*-*

At the end of the file /usr/dt/app-defaults/<locale>/Dt

With <locale> being the locale you use, something like en_US.ISO8859-1 or en_US.UTF-8.
