VMS Help TCPIP Services, SMTP, Receiving Mail  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    To read received mail, follow these steps:

    1. At the DCL prompt, type MAIL.

    2. At the MAIL> prompt, use the DIRECTORY command to view a list
       of received messages.

    3. Use the READ command or indicate the message number you want
       to view in exactly the same way as you would for OpenVMS mail.

    In the following example, a user views the directory of unread
    new mail and selects Message 3 to read.

    $ MAIL

    You have 3 new messages.

    MAIL> DIRECTORY
    NEWMAIL
