Also, edit /etc/aliases to divert root's email to your normal user account. For example, I have the line: root: scott in mine. That way I get all the regular system emails without needing to become root, and I can read them with my normal mail reading setup. I also have procmail set up to file all such mails in a separate mailbox automatically. Don't forget to run /usr/bin/newaliases after editing the aliases file, to rebuild the alias database.
