[CLUE-Tech] creating /var/spool/mail/$USER

[cnb at eircom.net]

I'm trying to create all the accounts from an old server onto a new one.
Old: kernel-2.2.5-22
sendmail-8.9.3-10
New: kernel-2.4.2-2
sendmail-8.11.2-14
When I create the account it doesn't have the /var/spool/mail/$USER dir.
Anyone know what creates that dir?

Thanks,

New e-mail that has not been received (POP) or INBOX mail (IMAP) creates 
this file when there is e-mail. (sendmail-ish)
