RE: [K12OSN] Adminstration question

["wlewis" <wlewis malden k12 mo us>]

Being a n00bie to Linux, and having inherited a RH7.3 mail server. Going
into /var/spool/mail<username>, (this will be a stupid question) exactly
how would one delete certain emails from user accounts. I have a user
who cannot delete email from their account and have been trying to find
documentation or figure out how to browse the mail on the server.
Forgive my ignorance, but I came from M$ background. ;-(

If you've already read the mail, then it is probably in ~/mail or ~/Mail
in a mail box.  If you have permission, you can look at it.
