Not sure why you would want to delete a mailbox unless the user is no
longer on the system?

? I guess we all have some intention with a question. At the moment I 
want to delete a user not on the sysem any longer.

You wouldn't use ftp to read the mailbox...but you could download it.
the mailbox is owned by the user...so you'd need to ftp in as the
user name

On my earlier server I was able to do that with all the boxes but not
on the raq4. I guess its security issues for that. But how to do that?

I guess I'm confused...do you want to delete the mailbox, modify the
contents or simply read it?

Depend on the situation !

Depending on what you want to do, you'd have to be logged on
as user, or admin, or su to root.

Do you want to share how to do that ?
