Hi Folks, When I try 'pine' it says, can not open file is ful. Which is my inbox '/var/mail/jahanur' is full. And I could not open it at all. What I did is copied the file in to different directory and emptied the mailbox by deleting the file /var/mail/jahanur and created the file again with nothing in it. So that I can send email to you folks. My problem is, the file is about 3 MB and I dont know how to open it at all. I tried vi, it also can not open it, "Error: jahanur: No space left on device; jahanur: unmodified: line 1" How can I view this big file and delete some email from their so that I can save the ones I want. Is theie any other way. I know one email could cause this problem; I know its sender. Do you think I can delete anything came from that particular sender. Please help.
