I am using solaris and using thunderbird, Mozilla (sometime)
to check my e-mails,

by default my e-mails are supposed append to /var/mail/myfile and this file should be read by thunderbird or mozilla what ever.

what happens is, mbox is being created automatically in my account, and I am no longer able to check my e mails, yes the solution is append mbox contents to /var/mail/myfile. but
why is this mbox file being created ??
