I don't think he is ( actually , I have no evidence to that the OP is 
male... oh well, I've said it now).
The problem with the /etc/skel method is that it will copy the entire 
contents of /etc/skel to the new homedir, with their original names. If 
  all the users being added share the same homedir (ill-advised in my 
personal opinion ;-) ) there will only ever be one mail directory...
