I pressed 'p' to print the first message, just to know that ic could be opened. Then I presses 'q' to exit but it kept showing messages one after another. And at last when I got back on the prompt, there was no mailbox left. That's exactly how it happened. Now, I dont see any file in there attached with that user. Any help?
