NAME

       newmail - notify users of new mail in mailboxes

SYNOPSIS

       interval] [file-spec]...

DESCRIPTION

       The utility monitors your incoming mailbox or specified mail folders.

       The  basic  operation  is that the program checks the folders each interval seconds (default 60) and lists any new mail that has arrived in
       any of the mailboxes, indicating the sender's name, and the subject of the message.

       Without any options, runs in the background at a default interval of 60 seconds to monitor the user's incoming mailbox.	So that  they  are
       suitable for display on an already active screen, messages are prefixed with a pair of pointer characters as follows:

       If  there  is  no subject, the message is displayed.  If there is more than one folder, output lines are prefixed by the folder-name or the
       prefix string specified by file-spec.

       runs until you log out or explicitly kill it.  It can internally reset itself if the mailbox shrinks in size and then grows again.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Set the time interval between mailbox checks
			     to the value specified, in seconds.  The default is 60.

			     interval must be less than 2^32 seconds.  If it is set to less than 10 seconds, warns that such short  intervals  are
			     not recommended.

	      Run the program within the current window in the foreground
			     with a more succinct output format.

			     The output formats become:

   Operands
       recognizes the following operand:

	      file-spec      Specifies the name of a folder and an optional prefix string, in the form:

			     Metacharacters such as and indicate the folder directory.	The default is the value of the environment variable or

EXAMPLES

       Check incoming mailbox every 60 seconds:

       Check incoming mailboxes of and every 15 seconds for new messages.

       Monitor	the  incoming mailbox of user and the folder in your mail directory called Prefix all new messages in the incoming mailbox of with
