how to read root mail from other machine on secure lan

["Ralph E. Kenyon, Jr." <diogenes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 the 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.
