Viewing /var/mail/username mail via thunderbird

Despite the really decrepit solutions you can find via Google, this is really easy.

1. create a "Movemail account"
2. exit thunderbird
3. cd ~/.thunderbird/{random}.default/Mail/localhost
4. ln -sf /var/mail/{username} Inbox
5. re-startup thunderbird
6. read mail.
