I had the following two lines in my .gnus so I could use Gnus for both
news and mail:
(setq mail-sources '((file)))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")))
I recently commented these out, but Gnus is still reading mail from my
mail spool! I've checked both of these variables, and they are nil.
(My primary select method is nntp). Anyone know what might be going
on? I'm using oGnus v0.1 from a few weeks ago.
Thanks!

Maybe you have a foreign nnml server? Type `^' from the Group buffer
to find out.

This is what I see:
{nnml:} (opened)
{nndraft:} (opened)
{nntp:localhost} (opened)
Hm. Wonder why nnml is in there? Could this be causing the problem?
(setq gnus-message-archive-method '(nnml ""))
If so, how can I archive messages using the nnml, but persuade Gnus
not to read from my mail spool?
Thanks!

Yes.

(setq mail-sources nil)
Or maybe (setq gnus-message-archive-method '(nnml ""
(nnml-get-new-mail nil))).

The latter one. That's cleanest. Otherwise there will be a big
surprise if he decides to read mail with gnus again and even more
particularly if he uses something other than nnml as his mail backend
of choice.
Been there, messed it up, spent way too much time recovering :-)

My mail-sources is already nil, but Gnus is still pulling mail from
the spool. :-/

Haven't tried this yet, though. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
