    Hello everyone,

    I'm tired of looking at root's mail with the "mail" command or using vi. How
    can I receive root's mail on Kmail (as a regular user) ? ..since I'm logged
    in as a mortal user...I don't have access to root's mail...therefore I can't
    configure kmail to look for it.

    I've been told about placing a file called .forward on root's $HOME with the
    email I want all mails to be forwarded. Does it work or is it just on vintage
    UNIX?

    Any suggestions to automate this will be appreciated :)

    Thanks in advance,
    Jorge
