    The good thing is that *everyone's* INBOX lives in /var/spool/mail/ 
(it's actually an NFS mount from the mail spooler).  It's the multiple 
mboxes they've created over the years to sort out (and empty out) their 
INBOX and store in their user space.

    Thanks for the suggestions and pointers!
