Apparently, what has happened is that you used mail(1), but forgot to set the 'hold' option. This means that any email messsages you marked as read (either manually or by reading them) have now been moved from your default `$MAIL' folder to `$HOME/mbox'. Now you can use mail(1) to move these back to your `$MAIL' folder wherever that is. % [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/giorgos$ mail -f mbox % Mail version 8.1 6/6/93.

Install pine and reading locally using pine, don't delete the messages in pine and you can pick them up remotely. -Derek At 04:06 AM 7/22/2006, Robert Davison wrote: I've received some email and read it using the simple 'mail' command.
