MAIL in terminal - how to enter - Ask Ubuntu


i have mail client installed on ubuntu server. know how send email terminal , know how read email, if it. - how can enter in mail client if don't have new mail. more understandable - want enter part can see commands alias, alt, copy, cd, ch, dec, delete ... or maybe - how can find (read) sent mails?

update: use mail (gnu mailutils 2.99.99). if have new mail , write "mail" opens program can read email (with inserting number written before name , subject). can type "?" more help, can see many options (write, save, send, delete ...). ok. - if don't have email waiting me , if write "mail" in terminal, message "no mail xxxx". stays in linux terminal, i'm sure, can open mail program somehow.

to show messages sent username logged in terminal type mail mail needs configured in order receive messages local users. easiest way configure mail install sendmail sudo apt-get sendmail , sendmail program work 3 5 minutes when being installed , configure mail automatically.

then type mail start program , after ? prompt type number of message read in terminal. can take few minutes notification have received new message after sent.

the way indicate end of message when composing message in mail type newline @ end of message containing . character , press enter.
