linux mail

How is command line linux mail implemented on DH hosts? My cron jobs send me mail. One was sending me a warning that I missed for a while because I can't seem to get the mail command to work as it does on my old Solaris server. On bogota, when I type mail, all I get is mail: /home/username/Maildir:/ Is a directory. Maybe this is because the current mail is getting stuffed in a subdirectory named "new"

It's hard to search for this in the forum, or wiki, because there are so many hits for regular email and webmail.

It reports it's a directory 'cause it's a directory

You can use mutt if the user has access to mail in shell.

Am I missing an easier solution that involves forwarding this system mail to a POP3 account or to webmail somehow?
