With Oort Gnus 0.01, I have:
(setq nnml-directory "~/Gnuspool/")
(setq mail-sources
'((directory :path (concat nnml-directory ".incoming/")
:suffix "")))
(setq mail-source-delete-incoming t)
(setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-topics)
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)
(setq gnus-read-active-file 'some)
However, new nnml groups -- i.e., by creating a file in
~/Gnuspool/.incoming -- don't seem to appear in the group buffer.
If I add them with `j', they appear as killed. I'd like them to be
subscribed. How can I do this?
Also, I don't see that it's useful to have an nnml group existent but
invisible. Is it possible to make them always visible?

What happens when you do `F'? Also see
gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method, that tells Gnus what to do with new
groups. Maybe you have to hit `A z' for those?

It might be useful if you read not only your private mail, but also
some kind of shared `public folders'. Say, your system admininstrator
has an nnml server, holding popular mailing lists, for system-wide
use, but you are not interested in all of them.

It reads the active file from nntp, then says "8406 new groups have
arrived". Otherwise nothing changes.

I have:
(setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-topics)
`A z' says "No zombie groups".

AIUI, you need the nnml server to be in
gnus-secondary-select-methods. Gnus doesn't look for new groups on
foreign servers.
You also need to make sure some topic is claiming the groups, or else
they don't get subscribed (I think).

Well, actually I don't know what happens with gnus-subscribe-topics
when there is no topic that catches the group. Hm.
Maybe you need a catch-all topic? No, that seems wrong.
Hm.
`A z' isn't it? What about `A k'? `A A'?
