This has confused me a bit since I have not set any mail up! On further looking about the place I can see no trace of any mail anyway - so what gives? How can I find that to which the beast refers, and more, how might I read same? <shrug>

I mean on the face of it, that looks like the setup is mistaken, but it's far more likely that I am, surely?
In the same console mail and it should show you a list of the mail waiting for you type in the number of the mail you want to see and enter to read, ESC brings you back to the list IIRC and when you are done "q" then enter quits the program.
