Subject: Using rmail with maildir and isync?
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2024 22:19:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D4AI5AF0D7YE.1D14PI1GCBBP@mccd.space> (raw)

Heya!

I noticed that rmail should work with maildirs, assuming you have
movemail installed.

I made sure movemail is installed and tried setting my maildir using
set-rmail-inbox-list command and I set it to maildir://~/my-mail, which
is the folder where my mail is stored. It loads without issue on other
clients.

However, with rmail I get the error when fetching the mail saying "No
mail.".

Is there a correct way of connecting rmail to my maildir directory that
I am missing?

Thanks,
Marc
