Shouldn't that have been taken care of when I made the new nnml groups (G m
groupname <ret> nnml <ret>)?

This doesn't change gnus-secondary-select-methods.  I also think you
should take nnfolder out of gnus-secondary-select-methods.

spooling mail to some nnml groups and some nnfolder groups

[Matt Pharr]

I'm trying to make the transition from nnfolder to nnml for some of my
mailgroups, but gnus (5.4.46) is making new nnfolder groups to spool mail
to instead of spooling it to the new nnml groups I've made. Here's what I
did:

1) Killed the old nnfolder groups. *
2) Made new nnml groups
3) Respooled mail from the old nnfolder groups to the new nnml groups

When I fire up gnus or do a 2 g to get new mail, the nnml groups don't get
any of it, and instead the mail is written into my nnfolder directory in
new nnfolder files.

(*) After the first time I tried this and it didn't work, I went
through my .newsrc.eld file by hand to make sure all vestiges of the old
nnfolder groups were clobbered--that didn't help any though.

I'm using fancy splitting, and have secondary select methods set thusly:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml "")
	(nnfolder "")
	))

And there isn't anything else related to nnml or nnfolder in my .gnus.el
file..

thanks,
-matt

This is the one way I know of that Gnus doesn't handle multiple
servers well; all of your mail servers will try to get mail, it just
depends on which one grabs it first.

If you're really done with all of the old nnfolder groups, then take
nnfolder out of gnus-secondary-methods.  An entry there is sufficient
for it to get new mail; I think it's done at server open or when its
active file is read (to discover new mail groups).

Otherwise, you can set nnfolder-get-new-mail to nil.

I think mail splitting will eventually specify which server the
message should be placed in, which will fix this.
