Simple command =)
shell# > /var/spool/mail/user
This takes an input value of nothing and over writes the file with it. Very quick and simple way of getting rid of mail.

Subject: Re: [cobalt-users] How do I clear a users e-mail out?
I had already removed the users from the Cobalt screen
and then reinstalled them. That got rid of the data
out of their folders, but now they can't login via any
mail package. I am running joydesk but that doesn't
seem to be the cause of the problem. It seem as
though their password will not work. I changed the
password and then even restarted the server with no
luck. Any one have an idea.
Thanks
