Does an automated mail sorter exist for a user?
I looked around for a FAQ, but one doesn't seem to exist.

Example:
Mail is sent to username@site with a subject line of "private - subjectX".
I assume that the mail is temporarily put in /usr/mail/username.
Usually, upon login, the mail is moved to /usrX/username/mbox

Is there a way to move the mail instead to /usrX/username/private.mbox
Then, upon login, the message would now say;
"You have new mail in mailbox "private.mbox""
"You have new mail in mailbox "mbox"" 

I hope you get the picture.
