I was under the same impression, hence my original thread:

However I was told (by Frank) that it is possible using mailx.

So now I'm completely lost as to what is possible and what is not. For now I have sendmail installed, but if possible I would like to remove that (at least on my laptop).
Apology for delay in answering, away from PC. Saw new thread. Answered here?
No worries, it is holiday season ... "away from PC" is how it should be ;).
With "Claws-Mail" it saves as numbered individual plain text files, mailx will create a dead.letter plain text file for mail it cannot be sent.
sudo crontab -e */5 * * * * /usr/././system_mail cat system_mail mv ~/dead.letter ~/Mail/inbox/Local/2 (root is 3) That't the short of it.
Okay, now I follow. I did get ~/dead.letter when mail failed during my test. Since in my case system mail is generated both by root and <user> this would be an unworkable solution. I think I will investigate Ed's suggestions further.
Thanks and happy new year,
