In rmail.el, the code:

	   (setq rmail-inbox-list
		 (or rmail-primary-inbox-list
		     (list "~/mbox"
			   (concat rmail-spool-directory
				   (or (getenv "LOGNAME")
				       (getenv "USER")
				       (user-login-name))))))

should be changed to:

	   (setq rmail-inbox-list
		 (or rmail-primary-inbox-list
		     (list "~/mbox"
			   (or (getenv "MAIL")
			   (concat rmail-spool-directory
				   (or (getenv "LOGNAME")
				       (getenv "USER")
				       (user-login-name)))))))

in order to make use of the $MAIL variable.  time.el already does
something like this.
