6.3.4.3 Mail Source Customization

The following is a list of variables that influence how the mail is fetched. You would normally not need to set or change any of these variables.

mail-source-crash-box
File where mail will be stored while processing it. The default is `~/.emacs-mail-crash-box'.
mail-source-delete-incoming
If non-nil, delete incoming files after handling them.
mail-source-directory
Directory where files (if any) will be stored. The default is `~/Mail/'. At present, the only thing this is used for is to say where the incoming files will be stored if the previous variable is nil.
mail-source-incoming-file-prefix
Prefix for file name for storing incoming mail. The default is `Incoming', in which case files will end up with names like `Incoming30630D_' or `Incoming298602ZD'. This is really only relevant if mail-source-delete-incoming is nil.
mail-source-default-file-modes
All new mail files will get this file mode. The default is 384.
mail-source-movemail-program
If non-nil, name of program for fetching new mail. If nil, movemail in exec-directory.
