NAME

netmail − read mail on a remote machine over the network

SYNOPSIS

netmail [ −l login ] [ −p password ] [ −n ] [ −f ] [ machine ]

DESCRIPTION

The mail for the specified user is read on the specified machine.  If the machine specification is omitted, the default machine is used.  The remote login name is indicated by the −l and −p options (or will be prompted for on the terminal).  A password is required.  −f and −n behave exactly as in net(UCB).

The mail will be delivered in the file “mbox.machine” in the user’s login directory. 

Netmail executes the net(UCB) command.
