/var/spool/mail is where each user's mail is stored.
the answer is yes. If a user does not check his or her email for long
periods of time or they leave mail on the server, their mail allotment will
fill up and they will no longer be able to receive email.
It is a good idea to instruct all users not to leave mail on the server. A
lot of times, you have to delete the large file in order to get the mail to
work for that user again, hence they lose all their mail.
