Since OP didn't specify how he reads 'ordinary' mail, we can only speculate. There are at least two ways to solve your problem: 1) /etc/aliases with /--------- root: b...@foo.bar.org \--------- and forward root's mail to an external account. 2) or install some imap daemon and point icedove to it. This is all a shot in the dark, since we don't know OP's mail configuration. Cheers, Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
