I use Emacs 30.0.50 built from sources. Adding code to ~/.emacs.d/init.el:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/myusername")))
#+end_src

seems to do nothing.

- After running M-x Gnus, there is no entry with
  emails in *Groups* buffer.
- Command `less /var/mail/myusername` shows
  that there is at least one message in file.
