Hi again I using this to test as instructed it runs on my local machine with 
my /var/spool/mail/chuck dir
thats mounted on the mail server using nfs .
Thus I still get no output only when I print mbox.

NB Im digesting formail doc's and man pages.

Cheers

Chuck

fp =open("/var/spool/mail/chuck")
mbox = mailbox.UnixMailbox(fp)
                                                                               

for mail in mbox:
        print mail.read()
        break # Just reads one message
