Is it possible to have system mail delivered to my Thunderbird > mail client? According to the cron(8) manual: When executing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if such exists). So you can configure Thunderbird to retrieve email for the user running the crontab, or set the MAILTO environment variable within your crontab. -- Sahil Tandon <sahil@tandon.net>
