To determine how much space you are using in your Inbox on unix.mail (and remember this value will change as new messages are delivered and existing messages are deleted): • Establish a secure telnet session to blue.unix • Log in • At the command line prompt, type: ls -l /usr/spool/mail/yourUVaComputingID Example: ls -l /usr/spool/mail/mst3k • You will see a display similar to: 16 -rw-rw—- 1 mst3k mail 15697 Dec 1 14:37 /usr/spool/mail/mst3k In the example above, the 15697 is the size in kilobyes (KB) of your Inbox. • Divide the size of your Inbox in KB by 1048576 to see how many GB you are using. In this instance, 15697/1048576 = 0.015 GB. • You may also use the command du -g /usr/spool/mail/mst3k, which will give the size in GBs. However, it only shows to 2 decimal places. So, for this example, your 15697 will show as 0.00 GB.
