The Mail Command
----------------

.. index:: mail;mail list
.. index:: mail;mail read
.. index:: mail;mail del

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.

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