Ive been quiet for a couple of days, trying things & looking for the results next morning, found out a few things .. think I have cracked it.
/etc/cron.d/anacron & /etc/anacrontab are not duplicate .... I found this by accident.
/etc/cron.d/anacron is the system crontab /etc/anacrontab is the users crontab !
Once I moved my times around, I have
/etc/anacrontab, the user crontab, at 1:05am calling mozilla mail (without a & at the end !), So till I kill it I assume it is keeping crontab running.
/etc/cron.d/anacron, the system crontab, at 1:30am calling an auto backup script, last 5-10 mins
I get mail at 1:30am, QED !
I have made mozilla mail run with a &, ie background ... will see what happens tonight
