I've goofed. 

I have my email being retrieved by fetchmail and stored in my local mail
spool at /var/spool/mail/phill.

While trying to figure out a problem with Evolution refusing to send
email (smtp authentication had turned off), I ran 'mail' from the
command line to take a quick look and see if everything looked ok
there. 

As I quit I was prompted about whether I wanted to store old mail and
without thinking I hit yes causing mail to exit with the message:

[Keeping 12 messages and storing 1429.]

The problem is I can't figure out *where* those emails are being stored,
and I'd really like them back. 

Can anyone tell me where 'mail' stores mail and how, if possible, I can
important it back into my mail file so I have access to my old emails?

Thanks!
