Hi Giorgos,

Several questions:

> For root using mail -f /var/mail/root gives the following output:

Did you run this command as root, or as another user?

> //var/mail/root: 0 messages/

What are these slashes at the beginning and end of each output line?
Are they really displayed on your screen or do you add them manually
for some purpose? 

> For a user, which belongs to mail group, using mail -f
> /var/mail/$USER, i can see the messages.

What is the owner/group and permissions on that file?

Regards,
Sergey
