I'll assume you mean that you want to move mail that's
already been delivered to /var/spool/mail/<USER>

1. Shut down sendmail on the target machine (to prevent
   corruption problems later).

2. Take each /var/spool/mail/<USER> file, copy it to the
   target machine and copy it to the corresponding file 
   in /var/spool/mail/ (append it if the file already exists, of course).

3. Restart sendmail on target.

Later,
