mailcompat — Provide Compatibility for Solaris Mailbox

Format

/usr/bin/mailcompat 

Description

The mailcompat command provides 4.x compatibility for the Solaris mailbox format. You typically run mailcompat to be able to read mail on a workstation running 4.x when your mail server is running Solaris.

Enabling mailcompat creates an entry in an existing .forward file in your home directory. If the .forward file does not exist, mailcompat creates it. Disabling mailcompat removes the entry from the .forward file and, if this was the only entry, removes the entire file.

To execute mailcompat, log in to the Solaris mail server and enter mailcompat on the command line. Answer the queries provided by the program.
