To read received mail, follow these steps:

    1. At the DCL prompt, type MAIL.

    2. At the MAIL> prompt, enter the DIRECTORY command to view a
       list of received messages.

    3. Enter the READ command or indicate the message number you want
       to view in exactly the same way as you would for OpenVMS mail.

    In the following example, a user views the directory of unread
    new mail and selects message 3 to read.

    $  MAIL

    You have 3 new messages.
