It moves all the "read" mail messages to ~/mbox

pine -f /home/ahmedf/mbox .. and you can view all the mails in pine.

The mails in your /var/spool/mail/ahmedf will only be unread ones.

it does it only if the file ~/mbox is present you must have done something 
which created that file (tried out mutt ??)
