Thanks again!
I tried $HOME as below and that also works. You did bring up a
good point though. In my case all user homedirs are in the same
path, but I have admin accounts in another path that would not
have worked with the previous script. Using $HOME eliminates the
hard coded path.
newmail=`ls $HOME/Maildir/new/ | wc -l`
newmailbytes=`du -sb $HOME/Maildir/new/ | cut -f 1`
Cheers
