[opensuse] Where's my local mail?

I'm using Kontact/Kmail to collect mail from two external ISPs, no problem. I
have also setup an account to collect mail from /var/spool/mail/bob but
nothing arrives in my inbox.
OTOH, following activity in a terminal window, I sometimes get the message
'You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/bob'
That directory contains an empty file called bob, and a locked file called
root. Presumably the latter is there because at installation I opted to
direct root's mail to this user? Shouldn't I be able to read it, in that
case?
What's going on (or not)?
