Don't do what you have in mind!

Edit /etc/aliases, change at bottom the prepared alias for root to setup
an alias for root to a normal user account. Run "newaliases" and you'll
instantly get new root's mail to that normal user account, readable with
any client.

This is said for running Sendmail. If you have Postfix you'll have to
edit /etc/postfix/aliases and after that to run "/usr/sbin/postalias
/etc/postfix/aliases".
