Good answer. Had you added links with information on how to configure OpenSMTPD, Postfix or Exim4 to forward mail to your normal email address it would have been even better.

Great answer. But how do I use mail to read email? The manpage doesn't say.

I viewed my mail with cat /var/mail/$USER command and removed it with rm -rf /var/mail/$USER command.

@Andyc: Make the cronjobs not produce output. Use the appropriate "--quiet" or "silent" option of the program being run, or fix the job to not produce error messages by adding error checks where appropriate, or redirect the whole job's output to /dev/null like in shell (cronjobs use shell syntax).
