Append an entry like this to your ~/.procmailrc

:0:
*
/var/spool/mail/username

This is a bit of a cludge because I use procmail and I don't need to do
this. Mail not caught by any of my procmail filters gets dumped in
/var/spool/mail/sheldonh anyway.

If you want a copy of my .procmailrc for reference, mail me privately.

Regards,
Sheldon.
