Thank you very much for your answer!
Could you please tell me, why is it recommended to forward root's mail
to regular user? I sometimes log in as root on tty or via sudo to
administer system, and thus I would be able to have root's and user's
mailboxes separated, while still reading root's mail. Is there anything
that I have missed?
Yours sincerely, Jayson Willson

I would like to be able to read mail, which is addressed to "root" as
"root" user. When I configured exim4-config, I have set "root" as user,
which all the mail sent to "root" will be forwarded to. But now all the
mail sent to root comes to /var/mail/mail, and when I run "mail" as
root, I get message: No mail for root. Could you please tell me, what
should I do, if I want to read root's mail from root account?
mutt -f /var/mail/mail
You should really have root's mail delivered to a regular user.
