I am confused by the distinction. How can I tell? I am mostly confused by servers in Gnus. I just performed another test. I can G c a new group and it appears correctly in gnus-newsrc-alist: ("nnfolder:test-2" (3 . 1) ((1 . 1)) nil (nnfolder "") ((timestamp 15312 50110))) And for the duration of the session I can use the group fine. Then I exit and re-start Gnus. This bogus group is prepended to gnus-newsrc-alist: ("test-2" 3 nil nil) The original group remains, but is not visible in the group buffer. ("nnfolder:test-2" (3 . 1) ((1 . 1)) nil (nnfolder "") ((timestamp 15312 50110))) And maybe this can help answer your original question? (insert (pp gnus-opened-servers)) --> (((nnfolder "") ok) ((nndraft "") ok) ((nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/g/Mail/archive") (nnfolder-active-file "~/g/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)) ok) ((nntp "news.speakeasy.net") ok) ((nnml "") ok)) -- matt
