changing archiving method/group

[Sebastian Luque]

Sending messages has suddenly become slow (~10 s - 1 min), and reading the FAQ
suggests ditching nnfolder for storing sent messages. I tried to do that,
while keeping my splitting structure. This is my previous setup:

,-----[ .gnus.el (lines: 36 - 50) ]
| (setq message-directory "~/News/mail"
|       ;; how and where to store sent messages
|       gnus-message-archive-method
|       '(nnfolder "archive"
| 	     (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)
| 	     (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
| 	     (nnfolder-active-file "~/News/sent/active")
| 	     (nnfolder-directory "~/News/sent/"))
|       ;; sort sent mail and news into different groups
|       gnus-message-archive-group
|       '((if (message-news-p)
| 	    "sent-news"
| 	  (concat "sent-" (format-time-string "%m-%Y"))))
|       message-auto-save-directory "~/News/drafts")
`-----

So I tried replacing 'nnfolder' with 'nnml' above, but that was obviously
wrong, as I got an error (wrong type argument) when composing any message. I'm
confused about the relationships between gnus-message-archive-method and
gnus-message-archive-group, so don't really know what to do here (not even
sure whether this is the right solution to my problem). Any help is
appreciated.

There are certainly no nnml pendant for all the nnfolder
variables above :)

Any backtrace ?

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "pendant". Do you mean those
variables don't exist for nnml? I checked (info "(gnus)Mail Spool"), and the
only one that isn't there is nnml-inhibit-expiry, but that might have been
inconsequential(?).

I'm affraid not, as I immediately put everything back to my previous state,
not knowing what I was doing. If I could understand the relationships between
message-directory, gnus-message-archive-method, gnus-message-archive-group, I
might feel better about trying that again. For the moment, I'll have to put up
with slow message sending.

Thanks for your help so far,

I meant that there were certainly nnfolder variables not
available for nnml. I was partly wrong ;)
