You should setup /etc/aliases to direct mail for root to a normal
user. Something like this is near the bottom of /etc/aliases by
default:
# Person who should get root's mail
#root: marc
Change the user to your local user and uncomment the line. Then run
the newaliases command. Mail sent to root will now be directed to
your local account.

Why do you need to use POP3 or IMAP?

Sure, neither sendmail nor postfix provide POP3 or IMAP services. You
could install dovecot to provide that, but it seems like overkill just
to check local mail.
