37.21 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, for the detailed description of movemail versions.

     maildir://var/spool/mail/in
