Hm, right now I have {nnml:archive} (opened) {nnml:archive+nnml+archive:sent-messages-2008} (opened) {nnml:archive+nnml+archive:sent-postings} (opened) {nntp:Uni} (opened) (agent) {nntp:Gmane} (opened) (agent) {nntp:Eclipse} (opened) (agent) The archive server contains the groups sent-messages-2008 and sent-postings. It seems server 2 and 3 were created when I tried to enter the respective groups... > How about trying removal of useless servers?

Did that, and afterwards I had this: ,----[ C-h v gnus-server-alist RET ] | gnus-server-alist is a variable defined in `gnus.el'. | Its value is | (("archive" nnml "archive" | (nnml-inhibit-expiry t) | (nnml-get-new-mail nil) | (nnml-directory "/home/horn/.gnus.d/News/archive") | (nnml-active-file "/home/horn/.gnus.d/News/archive/active"))) `---- Killing the *Server* buffer and entering it again with ^ still will show the two strange servers... The I restarted gnus, and that's the initial value. After startup, *Server* only shows one archive. Then I try entering sent-postings and enter *Server* again, and boom, there's {nnml:archive+nnml+archive:sent-postings} (opened) But the value of gnus-server-alist has not changed... Bye, Tassilo
