[SOLVED] Can a postfix update remove an empty mailbox?
I have just noticed that the root mailbox (/var/spool/mail/root) is missing on my workstation, although I can clearly remember receiving error messages from cron there, some time ago...
I heard from some debian users that mailboxes can be removed (if empty) when postfix is updated. Is this possible?.. Thx.

Re: [SOLVED] Can a postfix update remove an empty mailbox?
Yes, you're right. That was an ignorant question 
The problem was that by default our "BSD mailx" deletes the mailbox, after all messages were moved to $HOME/mbox...
