Have you considered installing something like IMAP on that machine to make mail more convenient to read?

I have been using Linux for a long time and have yet to see a cron/anacron mail message.

In [root@Box10 bobg]# cat /etc/aliases I configured:

# Person who should get root's mail
root:        bobg

And after a bit of googling I dnf installed mail. Mail is difficult to use, has a long list of commands, but it did display about five hundred messages of which it displays several pages and stops, those are old from a couple of months ago while today's messages are all I am interested at the moment.

Is there a command to display only what I want, a specific day or perhaps reverse the order so that today's messages are at the top, display first? Better yet I would think would be to display them in Thunderbird but I don't know how to do that ...

Any help appreciated,

Bob
