If your incoming mail is stored on a local machine in a format other
than Unix mailbox, you will need the Mailutils movemail
to
retrieve it. See movemail
program, for the detailed description of
movemail
versions. For example, to access mail from an inbox in
maildir
format located in /var/spool/mail/in, you would
include the following in the Rmail inbox list:
maildir:///var/spool/mail/in
