How to get rid of “You have new mail.” in zsh

terminalzsh

I'm using zsh with prezto as my shell with iTerm as terminal app.

I always get the message "You have new mail" when opening a new prompt. I don't have any new mail in Mac Mail and I don't run a mail server.

How can I get rid of this message?

Thanks

It tells you that you have received some mails (for example, because of your configuration of cron).

The best way is to read this mail. Type mail: at least one mail should appear. You can read by typing its number ID. You can also directly delete it (or even multiple mails) by typing d 1-1344 (1-1344 being the range of your new mails' IDs). Leave mail with x.
