You can always do a mv /usr/spool/mail/`username` . to grab your mail file,
but it's easier to just use your mailer to save individual notes to your
other folders.

"Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by
legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being
stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence
is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out
automatically and without pity."
