Yes, create a User, make sure no mail comes in until the other day at 
06:00 and then the mbox file suddenly appears empty owned by root. I 
haven't found yet what possible cron job might trigger it. After doing a
#find /home -name mbox -user root -exec ls -la \{} \;
I found dozens of them on almost all my BOs. They all have a datetime of 
06:0[01234] on the following day of the account creation.
Does anybody have a clue which cronjob possibly does this ?
