I agree, it's not clear, but /var/spool/mail is normally the directory
where MTAs deliver mail for local users absent aliasing to the contrary.
I.e. incoming mail for local user 'mark' is added to the mbox at
/var/spool/mail/mark or in some cases /var/spool/mail/mark/ might be a
maildir with cur/, new/ and tmp/ subdirectories containing individual
messages.
