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)?
