Unable to open mail spool file /var/mail/root

hi

I'm using thunderbird and MOVEMAIL accounts for every local user.

MOVEMAIL settings:

Account Settings:
Account Name = user@localhost
Email Address & Reply to = user@localhost

Server settings:
Server Type = Movemail
Server name = localhost
User name = user

Outgoing server settings:
Server name = localhost
Use secure Connection = no

every user should login with his account, open thunderbird and see his mails,
but everyone gets this error message:

Unable to open mail spool file /var/mail/root

why thunderbird looks each time for root mails ?
knows someone what's wrong and howto solve this problem ?
