Sorry for not being more specific. I deliberately created those new accounts because I have another computer running that needs to retrieve this message using bob1 account through the POP3 protocol.

It is sendmail which does the delivery. If you only want to backup mail, why don't you simply make a copy to some_directory/some_file In bob's home directory, put a .forward file which saves a copy in his file and also saves a copy to some place.. Something like, wash:~$ cat .forward /var/mail/john /usr/backups/Mail/john Depending on whether you use Mutt or Elm or some other MUA, there will always be a means to access this file. With Elm, you can do elm -f /usr/backups/Mail/john (make sure the file is woned by user john) It is also possible to open the file with mutt. That is just one method.
