sorting received mail in unix and another error

hello! when issuing the mail command to see my received mail, i get this error:

(server)starla:/home/starla>mail
Warning: Too many letters, overflowing letters concatenated
msgcnt 27378 vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/vg00/lvol4 file system full (1 block extent)
mail: no space for temp file

when i do this on another server, it gives me the "overflowing letters concatenated" message, but it displays my mail content. i know this may be related to size issue, but when i check our mountpoint, it is at 84% (that should be sufficient, right?). in any case, is there a way or a mail option that i could use to just go through my received mails??

also, is there a way for me to sort out the mails i have received according to most recently received to the oldest one? when i issue the mail command, unix gives me the output but it goes on and on, and i can't really read through it because it scrolls so fast. or is ther a way to just grep for a particular line in a message that will help me find details about it faster?

thanks!
