The manual is just a wee bit terse in this regard. If I understand correctly, having played with it now, the mail from mail-sources ends up in an nnml group; the actual group for any individual email will depend on my splitting rules. Initially I couldn't see the pop emails. I had to subscribe to the nnml groups but this wasn't obvious at first glance because I didn't have any nnml groups subscribed to at all before. It all sort of makes sense now... I think. Well, it works! That's the main thing. Thanks, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 + No Gnus v0.14
