Showing help on '@nn'
Alternative mail reading commands.Syntax: @nn
This command finds a folder containing an unread message, displays the first such, and updates your last-read-time for that folder. Your personal mail and all @subscribed folders are checked.
Syntax: @mail-all-new-mail
Displays headers of all unread messages on all of your folders (i.e., your personal folder and all @subscribed folders).
Syntax: @read-all-new-mail
Displays all unread messages on all of your folders (i.e., your personal folder and all @subscribed folders). This command ends with a prompt, "Did you get all of that? [Enter `yes' or `no']." Answering "yes" causes all of your last-read times to be updated. You will probably want to check for <<<n lines flushed>>> indications before you answer this question.
@read-all-new-mail (with a "yes" answer at the end) is equivalent to doing a large number of @nn's.
