Please help as soon as possible

[Nitin]

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?

Thanks again
