[newbie] kmail

[bascule]

hello people, getting ready for crimbo? (imagine this said with a thick 
accent and you might realise that i'm not neccessarily a big fan of this time 
of year - i'm a sufferer of s.a.d., solvency adjustment disorder)

well a nice pressent for me would be if someone could tell me if it is 
possible to get kmail to read amy mail for root, in 7.1 one could enter 
password details etc. to access mail but i cannot get kmail in kde2 to read 
mail from a local mailbox (not even a user mailbox)

is this possible - walkthrough anyone?
