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?
