"you have mail" at login

heavytull

i would like to know how to check the mails that are sent by the system to the
user.
everytime i boot the system says "you have mail" normally it should for example
correspond to users attempts to use unallowed tasks by root.

You get 2 default email messages when to install slackware linux. To delete
these, at the linux command prompt (in a shell) type (no quotes)

'mail'
'd'
'd'
'q'

This will take you into the mailx application, delete the 2 emails and
return you to the command prompt.
