[SOLVED] Creating mailbox file: File exists

Issue

I added user through command

adduser satya

I deleted the same user by

userdel satya

WhenI tried adding again

useradd satya

getting the following error:

Creating mailbox file: File exists

Solution

Used userdel -r satya for deleting the user, it deleted the mail box too.

Now useradd satya created the user.
