As a new Ubuntu user, one thing I noticed also is the lack of root
mail. Most of this comes from cron, I would bet. I also noticed that
my user crontab also generated no mail. I added a MAILTO=halb to that
one, which got mail back to where I was used to. You might try that
in /etc/crontab if you think the root mail you are missing is a result
of cron runs (I haven't tried that yet).
