This would prolly be the best option here, but it would depend on
where you want the mail kept.

Your prolly right there, I get an average of about 80+ e-mails, more
if it wasn't for the fact that I digested three of them, so I only get
10 total from them. If your timeout wasn't set just right when checking
for e-mail it tended to disconnect you from the mail server.
Another thought, depending on the size of your /var/mail/user file,
what about 'cat'ting them together, tar.gz one or the other, put it on a
disk, take it home and 'cat' it to the one on your home system? Havn't
tried it myself, anyone know if that WOULDN'T work??
