Mail Server Configuration

To Whomever It May Concern:
Basically, I'm wondering how to reset my mail server configuration.
I tried to contact washington.edu about this but wasn't able to get any 
help.  In which, I was trying to fix the mbox driver that is associated 
with Pine to make all of my new mail stay in /var/mail/username and not to 
transfer to /home/username/mbox.  With this, I was also trying to move all 
of the mail in /home/username/mbox back to /var/mail/username.  I tried 
to cp it to /var/mail/username but this made the box inaccessible.  In 
monkeying  around with the configuration, now I cannot receive mail in 
either box.
If you could show me how to reset to my original configuration, I would be 
happy.  If you could show me how I can move all of my email back to 
/var/mail/username with the mbox driver disabled so that imap can find it, 
I would be ecstatic.
Thank you for your time and have a good day.
Sincerely,
Mark Carroll
