Ok,
   there is no mbox file or directory shown.I have a 'mail' directory
listed. Checked there but to no avail. Now the thing is that the same
problem has occurred with another user. Why could that be? The
/var/spool/mail/<user_name> file just shows 0 bytes. Tried to create a
database and check too. But slocate doesn't give any mbox listing. Any
more pointers????
