Newsgroups: comp.os.vms Subject: Thanks to all who replied about my mail problem.... Message-ID: <8712101320.AA13821@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: 10 Dec 87 02:44:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Reply-To: "Welych, Gregory J."Organization: The ARPA Internet Lines: 21 Thanks to all 50+ of you who responded about my VAX mail problem Sorry if I was not able to thank you all inividually, but I was unable to send mail to certain addresses. To summarize: My problem delt with the new mail counter being out-of-sync with the TRUE value. The answer: It seems all that is needed is to use the VAX mail command READ/NEW Someone stated that this was implemented in VMS version 4.4. I don't know if it's true, because we have version 4.5.... as for HOW my problem was created, it was INDEED because of my compressing my main mail file down, while I received a new mail message. This is contrary to everybodies reasons for my problems. I thank you all again. Greg Welych. PS: When you send anything to info-vax, do you get a bunch of mail messages from mailers saying they can't do such-and-such for so-and-so reason? ------
