I haven't started looking at the 'root' mail yet, since I haven't figured a way to get the email client to read the root from the local system. I did find the man page on logwatch and am reading up on it.
The easiest way to read root email is to login or su to the root user and execute the command: mail
This is a text based email client.
Even easier is to have root's mail forwarded to a regular user. E.g., in /etc/mail/aliases:
# Person who should get root's mail root: john@xxxxxxxxxxx
Run "newaliases" after editing this file and root's mail will be forwarded to the specified user, where it will appear in their regular inbox.

-John (john@xxxxxxxxxxx)
