34.20 Retrieving Mail from Local Mailboxes in Various Formats

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
