@end lisp

Or using the default path:

@lisp
(file)
@end lisp

@item :suffix
Only files ending with this suffix are used.  The default is
@samp{.spool}.

@item :path
The path of the directory where the mails are stored.  The default is
taken from the @code{MAILDIR} environment variable or

@table @code

@item gnus-home-directory
All Gnus path variables will be initialized from this variable, which
defaults to @file{~/}.

@item gnus-directory
@vindex gnus-directory
Most Gnus storage path variables will be initialized from this variable,
which defaults to the @samp{SAVEDIR} environment variable, or
@file{~/News/} if that variable isn't set.

Note that Gnus is mostly loaded when the @file{.gnus.el} file is read.
This means that other directory variables that are initialized from this
variable won't be set properly if you set this variable in
@file{.gnus.el}.  Set this variable in @file{.emacs} instead.
