Hello,
I want to use rmail to handler with my mails,
and I don't want there exists one file named RMAIL in my home directory.
So, I changed the variable "rmail-file-name"'s value.
(setq rmail-file-name "~/.emacsd/.Rmail")

I executed it, but it had no changes.

How should I do?

Did you delete the old "RMAIL"?

I put
--------------------
(setq rmail-file-name "~/.rmail")

(setq diary-file "~/.diary")
--------------------
to ~/.emacs and "M-x byte-compile-file" it , it works good.
