I'll try to check what mailserver it is... Anyway, I think my mail is stored under /var/mail/username, and not somewhere under my /home/username directory.... It shows up all right, toguether with all other folders I have in my home.. It seems it reads "something" (that is my inbox) and then all /home/username
