-\*(lq+folder\*(rq tells nmh to use
-\*(lqMail/folder\*(rq.  \*(lq@folder\*(rq specifies a path

-file; e.g., with
-.RI \*(lq "Current-Folder: inbox" \*(rq,
-and the same profile, \*(lq@folder\*(rq tells nmh to use
-\*(lqMail/inbox/folder\*(rq.  If folder begins with \*(lq.\*(rq or
-\*(lq/\*(rq when using \*(lq+folder\*(rq, the folder is interpreted as
-a specific path to a directory on the filesystem rather than a
-relative folder location.
-For example,

+\*(lq@folder\*(rq.  In both cases, \*(lqfolder\*(rq can be a
+\*(lq/\*(rq-separated path, e.g. \*(lqfoo/bar\*(rq.  \*(lq+folder\*(rq
+specifies a directory path to a folder.  If \*(lqfolder\*(rq starts
+with \*(lq/\*(rq then it's an absolute path from the root directory.
+If it is \*(lq.\*(rq or \*(lq..\*(rq, or starts with \*(lq./\*(rq or
+\*(lq../\*(rq, then it's relative to the current working directory.

+\*(lq@folder\*(rq is a shorthand for \*(lq+curfolder/folder\*(rq; it's
