First, I'm not talking about root's mail. Second, how does local mail

I don't see a notification, but...). 'mail' is able to read and manage
my spool. What's the problem?
Root's mail is where things like logwatch and smart reports go. That's
the only thing getting mail on a fresh install.
For users that never log into a virtual tty (and that's a large large
amount of them) they never see a new mail notification.
