Woops. 1. I did the opposite of the first sentance, but you get the idea
anyways. 2. This isn't really going to help the orignial question:
	"check who hasn't checked their mail for over 24hrs".
	
Looking at the last modified time isn't going to help because it will be
updated every time mail is *received*. You need to look at the access time.

eg:

	find /var/spool/mail/ -atime -n
	ie: list files access less than n day(s) ago.
