Apology for delay in  answering, away from PC. Saw new thread. Answered
here?

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.

Set up works for my needs.
