I know of no way to stop NeXTMail from grabbing the mail into its own  
directories, however if you do a 
 mail -f ~/Mailboxes/Active.mbox/mbox
you can get at your next mail mbox.  Be careful deleting messages  
though; nextmail can get confused if you do things behind its back.   
If it does get confused, try deleting the "table_of_contents" file  
from the Active.mbox directory.  

This method of course works for other mailboxes you may have defined.
