/var/spool/mail/username or /var/mail/username (one symlinks to the
other, these days), is where the system delivers mail to that user.

When a user gets their mail, it may move into a /home/username/mail or
/home/username/Maildir location.  Perhaps all their mail may end up in
their homespace, or just the messages that they move out of their inbox
(it depends on how they configure things).

Boilerplate:  All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see
the messages posted to the mailing list.
