Public bug reported:
If a new user checks for mail they receive a confusing reply:
"Cannot open mailbox /var/mail/foo: Permission denied"
Followed by one that makes sense:
"No mail for foo"
I'm not sure the first message is necessary, and suggests a permissions
problem where none exists.
Remarkably this appears to be new to Trusty; Precise does not print this
first message.
