Right now, it's still supported, but masked out of --help output but with a "MFOLDER" placeholder. Perhaps a note in the man page noting it's mairix analogue is sufficient? > Using MFOLDER rather than PATH as the metavariable seems a bit confusing > to me because the target isn't a directory for --format values other > than "maildir". Fwiw, mairix uses "mfolder" for mbox and IMAP destinations, too; (I've never used IMAP with mairix, but have every intention of supporting IMAP in lei). "LOCATION" may also be a suitable placeholder *shrug*
