I have tried  breaking it down a bit as per your post.
when I run it I still dont see any results even to my output file .
Im logged in as myself ansd trying to access the mailbox on the mailserver 
which is mounted via nfs.The mail server has only version Python 1.5 So doesnt 
know about the email module.

Cheers

output =('/tmp/SurveyResults','w')

fp = open("/var/spool/mail/chuck")


mbox = mailbox.UnixMailbox(fp)
for mail in mbox:
	print mail.read()
	break #just look at one message
