Grex Info Item 216: Problems with getting old mail
Entered by zeus on Mon Mar 6 18:43:40 UTC 1995:

HELP, how can I access my old mail ?
Usually I use a quit-option who saves my mail.
But I don't know where and how to access it !

Each mail program stores your read-but-not-deleted mail in a
different file, depending which mail program you've been using.

If you used:

mail:  mbox
elm:   Mail/received
pine:  mail/saved-messages

You can use the "more" or "less" commands to read these files,
download them, delete them, whatever.

Users of elm (and, I think, pine) can also invoke with a -f option to select
a specific folder, though those programs also provide relatively easy options
to change folders inside the program.
