For a quick fix:

        [turn off incoming e-mail support]
        mkdir /home/mail
        cd /home/mail
        (cd /var/spool/mail >& /dev/null ; tar cf - *)|tar xvpf -
        rm -r /var/spool/mail
        ln -s /home/mail /var/spool/mail/
        [turn on e-mail support]

I've moved that mail spool around on my work system, depending on where I had
the space.  :-)
