Recover mail from Ubuntu server HDD

[shovenose]

I need to get c_hegge's email off my old Ubuntu Server hard drive from the old server. I attached it to my PC, installed DiskInternals Linux Reader, and am digging aroundi n the filesystem. But I have no idea where to find the actual emails.
Where? *frustrated*
thanks

Edit: additional info:
-Disk: WD 320GB SATA attached with USB
-OS of server when I was using it: Ubuntu Server 11.10
-Control panel: EHCP (http://ehcp.net)

No doubt you will have thought of this but
can C-Heggie resend them, if he has them in his sent mail

Depends on what you use...

On FreeBSD I think the default was /var/mail/username

Search for the mail with keywords like "sendmail" or whatever you used... search for the config and see which is the default

It was only accessed from webmail, not a local mail client (as far as I know, I just assumed and didn't ask him) HEY C_HEGGE YOU THERE? answer :P LOL

I need the disk for something so I'm just copying the whole thing to my computer and will look at it once I get some more advice. Thanks
