The Mail Command

The system monitors a number of events – these are described in more detail in the topic on Warnings and Notifications. The events can be signalled externally using email and snmp. However, a local copy of all events is maintained in the platform user’s mailbox.

Command	Description
mail list	Display a list of events stored in the mailbox.
mail read all	Read all mail.
mail read <number>	Read a specific mail message.
mail del <number>	Delete a specific mail message.
mail del <from> <to>	Delete a range of mail messages.
mail del all	Delete all mail messages.

Mail events may accumulate over time. The system will purge old events automatically if the mailbox becomes too full (more than 500 messages).
