how to read root mail from other machine on secure lan

["Ralph E. Kenyon, Jr." <diogenes xenodochy org>]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to allow access to my root mail account using
a pop email client on another machine on my LAN.

I can check the mail for another user on my Redhat 9 linux box, but not  
root.
Authentication fails.

I have managed to allow telnet login to root, but this did not work for
the mail account.

Can anyone give me any suggestions?
Thanks.
