If you're a BOFH, try this:
1. su - root
2. rm -rf ~user/Maildir
:)
Seriously, I work helpdesk about once a month, as well as my
sysadmin work. I usually try to educate the user how to deal with e-mails
via webmail, but if that doesn't work, then I just go into the maildir by
hand and use grep, rm, and the like. Maildir is just having all the
e-mails in separate files. Once you track down the appropriate file, you
can just delete it (or this works for me, anyway :) ).
Another alternative would be to develop a passwd substitution
tool. For example, say you had a program called "passsubst" (run from
sudo, or something). You could set it so that when you went:
passsubst <useracct> <adminacct>
...it would copy the encrypted passwd field from the account
<adminacct> to the same field for <useracct> (after backing up the one
from useracct somewhere first). Then you could log in using
your normal passwd, and access their e-mails however you wanted. Then you
could just run passrestore to restore the passwd from the backup version.
Of course, you'd have to write these scripts :).
