What does the message "You have new Mail" that I see on the console mean and how do I view it?
Updated -
When logging in, a "You have new mail
" message sometimes appears on the screen. The system often sends a mail message to the superuser "root
" after the completion of some cron jobs, software installation or as an error message meant to alert the system administrator. To view the message, type the command "mail
" at the console:
$ mail
