Unix read mail

A blast from the past!

In Unix, you can read your email using various commands and tools. Here are a few ways to do so:

1. mail: The classic Unix mail client. You can use the mail command to read your email. To use it, simply type mail in the terminal, and you'll be presented with a list of your email messages. You can then use the m command to move to a specific message, d to delete a message, and q to quit.
2. mailx: Another popular Unix mail client. mailx is similar to mail, but it has some additional features. You can use it to read your email by typing mailx in the terminal.
3. mutt: A more advanced Unix mail client. mutt is a text-based email client that allows you to read, write, and manage your email. You can use it to read your email by typing mutt in the terminal.
4. pine: A popular Unix email client from the 1990s. pine is a text-based email client that allows you to read, write, and manage your email. You can use it to read your email by typing pine in the terminal.
5. elm: Another Unix email client. elm is a text-based email client that allows you to read, write, and manage your email. You can use it to read your email by typing elm in the terminal.

To use these commands, you'll need to have a mail client installed on your system, and you'll need to have a mail account set up. The specific commands and options may vary depending on your system and mail client.

Here are some examples of how to use these commands:

• mail: mail [username] (e.g., mail john)
• mailx: mailx [username] (e.g., mailx john)
• mutt: mutt (no username required)
• pine: pine (no username required)
• elm: elm (no username required)

Note that these commands are typically used on Unix-like systems, such as Linux or macOS. If you're using a different operating system, you may need to use a different email client or command.
