@table @code
@item :path
The path of the directory where the mails are stored. The default is
-@samp{~/Maildir/new}.
+taken from the @code{MAILDIR} environment variable or
+@samp{~/Maildir/}.
+@item :subdirs
+The subdirectories of the Maildir. The default is
+@samp{("new" "cur")}.
-If you sometimes look at your mail through a pop3 daemon before fetching
-them with Gnus, you may also have to fetch your mails from the
-@code{cur} directory inside the maildir, like in the first example
-below.
+@c If you sometimes look at your mail through a pop3 daemon before fetching
+@c them with Gnus, you may also have to fetch your mails from the
+@c @code{cur} directory inside the maildir, like in the first example
+@c below.
You can also get mails from remote hosts (because maildirs don't suffer
from locking problems).
Two example maildir mail sources:
@lisp
-(maildir :path "/home/user-name/Maildir/cur")
+(maildir :path "/home/user-name/Maildir/" :subdirs ("cur" "new"))
@end lisp
@lisp
-(maildir :path "/user@@remotehost.org:~/Maildir/new")
+(maildir :path "/user@@remotehost.org:~/Maildir/" :subdirs ("new"))
@end lisp
@item imap
