Subject: bug#73470: Rmail is not working with maildirs
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2024 18:15:46 +0300

So /mail/home is a directory and the contents are maildir content. There
is an INBOX file, cur, new, tmp and directories like Archive,
Spam, Trash etc.

rmail-movemail-program is .nix-profile/bin/movemail. The second variable
I can not find, even after opening rmail.
