(describe-variable 'nnmail-spool-file) ==>
nnmail-spool-file's value is
((file))
Documentation:
*Where the mail backends will look for incoming mail.
This variable is a list of mail source specifiers.
This variable is obsolete; `mail-sources' should be used instead.
You can customize this variable.
I see "obsolete" and I take it to heart. I'm using mail-sources
instead, as instructed. I have mine set to this:
((directory :path "~/.incoming/" :predicate
(lambda
(f)
(not
(zerop
(nth 7
(file-attributes f)))))))
Why am I getting a message for every single nnml group?
