I'll try to check what mailserver it is...
Anyway, I think my mail is stored under /var/mail/username, and not
somewhere under my /home/username directory....
It shows up all right, toguether with all other folders I have in my
home.. It seems it reads "something" (that is my inbox) and then all
/home/username
