System Mailboxes

[table of contents] [index]
Often, a directory like /usr/spool/mail or /usr/mail holds incoming
messages for all users.
This is the place where the inc and msgchk commands look.
For instance, a user named ehuser would have a system mailbox named
/usr/spool/mail/ehuser or /usr/mail/ehuser.
Some system administrators install these mailboxes in each user's home
directory and give them a name like .mailbox.
