Is there an easy way to make cron not send me an email every time it runs

imagine that generates a lot of mail. Or is there a way clean up an mbox
without manually doing it?
man 5 crontab
The version of cron I have can be persuaded to not send email
A good alternative, in my view, is to write a filter with one's email
client to file these emails into a folder which one generally ignores.
It's there if needed.
I might also mention that I read a lot (just about all) of
system-generated email with alpine (Aternatively-Licenced pine) which
lets me deal with the emails much faster than thunderbird and other GUIs
can handle it. Dealing with those emails takes less than a second,
mostly the email fits on one page. And, I read on a Linux virtual console.
