SUMMARY: Just a little mail help

Ahhh. Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to find.

Richie Crews was the first to respond with the answer:
If he has a local email account you can look in /var/mail/username file
for his mail. Now this will be plain text. However if his mail is not
stored locally there is no way.

There was indeed a local email account, and I found the problem. Thanks
to all who responded so quickly.

Richie Crews, Dale Fay, Dale Poulter, Ric Anderson, Chris Ruhnke, Ed
Farrar, & Eric Sisson.

Thanks to all.

Hello all:

When I google this I get so many hits I can't find the tree for the
forest.

Is it possible, with rootly powers, to look at a user's email?
Due to a change in computer security an outside consultant is no
longer allowed access to a data collection system, and I need to check

his email account to see if there are some error messages to explain
why the system has stopped working. I can just change the password
and log in as him, but I was hoping there was a way that didn't
involve perturbing the system until I knew more about what stopped
working.

Thanks for the time.
