[SOLVED]mail command : "No mail for user" even if there is

I'm currently working on a postfix installation.
I am sending mail from my gmail account to my local user.
The mail is correctly delivered, and i can see it in /var/mail/user

[user@GlowArch ~]$ cat /var/mail/user

But if i try to read using mail command, there is nothing :

$ mail
No mail for user
$sudo mail
No mail for root

Any idea why ?

Re: [SOLVED]mail command : "No mail for user" even if there is

Somehow i had wrongly configured MAIL variable in my bashrc and forgot about it.

Just removed this and it's working.
