You would like to use gnus to read it. How about: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '("mymailbox" (directory "~/Mail/xeonmailinglist"))) I guess you could set 'gnus-select-method to that if you wanted, I didn't try that. In any case, when you run gnus, run 'gnus-group-list-active' (by hitting A A). You should find a group looking something like "nnmaildir+mymailbox:INBOX". Subscribe to it.
