How to check mail in terminal mac

To check your email in the Terminal on a Mac, you can use the mail command. Here are the steps:

1. Open the Terminal app on your Mac. You can find it in the Applications/Utilities folder, or use Spotlight to search for it.
2. Type the following command and press Enter:

   mail

   This will open the Mail program in the Terminal, which is a simple text-based email client.

3. You will see a list of your email accounts. Select the account you want to check by typing the number next to it and pressing Enter.
4. Once you've selected your account, you'll see a list of your unread emails. You can use the arrow keys to navigate through the list and the Enter key to select an email to read.
5. To read an email, type r and press Enter. This will display the email in a simple text format.
6. To reply to an email, type r and press Enter, then type your response and press Enter again.
7. To delete an email, type d and press Enter.

Some other useful commands in the Mail program include:

• l to list all emails in your inbox
• s to search for a specific email
• q to quit the Mail program

Note: The mail command is only available if you have the Mail app installed on your Mac and you have set up at least one email account in the Mail app.

Alternatively, you can also use the mutt command, which is a more advanced email client that can be used in the Terminal. To use mutt, type the following command and press Enter:

mutt

This will open the mutt email client, which has more features than the built-in mail command. You can use the mutt command to check your email, compose new emails, and more.
