Is it a good idea to have the mbox file in user home directories rather then /var/mail/ ?
Depends on who you ask :-)
If you ask me, having the inbox in a directory owned by the user (not necessarily the home directory, but that's usually a fine place) is a good idea. It lets you manage storage and filesystem layout a little easier; doesn't require some special access into centralized directories; more easily define mailbox quotas on a per-user basis.
