Question checking mail for particular user


I am logged in as root to my server and trying to get to the mail of a particular user (not root). I have created a mailbox in the 'prohosters' interface (a bit like cpanel) for johnny@john.com (under linux user: 'j0hn' I think) but when running the 'mail' command from the command line only seem to get mail for the root user ... ?

I'd like to get any new emails as well for johnny and output their contents - is there a loop to do this help would be much appreciated.

In fact if the script can be run in Python this would be awesome

Question

in the second last example on this page: http://docs.python.org/library/email-examples.html

What should I input as the arg[0] (msgfile) ?

I am running RedHat 3.4.5 and have very little knowledge of linux mailboxes unfortunately ...

thanks for any help!
