 Check your /etc/mail/aliases file. If you have a regular account, send
mail to root to you instead... then of course, you'd have outlook checking
your personal account.

 So:

cd /etc/mail
ee aliases

find root: and put yourusername to the right of it

ESC, exit, save.

type:  newaliases   to rebuild the aliases db.
