Check out $folder
set folder = ~/Maildir/.INBOX/
folder
Type: path
Default: “~/Mail”
Specifies the default location of your mailboxes. A ‘+’ or ‘=’
at the beginning of a pathname will be expanded to the value of
this variable. Note that if you change this variable from the
default value you need to make sure that the assignment occurs
before you use ‘+’ or ‘=’ for any other variables since expan‐
sion takes place during the ‘set’ command.
