Changing the location of my mail-sources directory

Changing the location of my mail-sources directory

[Eloy A. Paris]

Hello,

Gnus reads my mailing lists spool files from ~/Mail. I set this up
with the following statement in my .gnus:

(setq mail-sources '((directory :path "~/Mail/" :suffix ".spool")))

I would like to move everything to ~/mailing-lists. I though it was just
a matter of renaming ~/Mail to ~/mailing-lists and changing my .gnus to:

(setq mail-sources '((directory :path "~/mailing-lists/" :suffix ".spool")))

However, this does not work; Gnus complains it can't find the groups
when I try to enter them. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Eloy.-

The groups normally have to do with gnus-select-method and
gnus-secondary-select-methods.  Maybe you also frobbed the location of
some groups, such as nnml groups?

Gnus uses ~/Mail by default for storing mail, so any nnml, nnfolder,
and so on, email will be in that directory.
