DISCLAIMER:

     * I am running on Devuan, then days, not Debian

     * I get my Thunderbird directly from Mozilla  (Currently 91.5.1)

I have local accounts set up so that I can receive e-mail sent by cron.  
I have had no difficulty with receiving these e-mails. Over the last two 
months, I have used 91.4.0, 91.4.1, 91.5.0, and now 91.5.1.  None have 
given me any problems with receiving e-mail sent by cron to my local 
account.  Under "Local Folders" I have an account with my name.  
Properties shows the location of this to be 'mailbox:///var/mail/marc'.  
No soft links required.  Am I misunderstanding the problem, here?
