Subject: problem with pop3 nnml and default dir

Hello
Most likely I misunderstand something fundamental.
I want to read mail from a pop3 server and thought of using the
following setting
Until now I read some mail from a pop3 server by the following
setting:
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnfolder "/home/oub/Mail/Pop3-GMX"))
(eval-after-load "mail-source"
'(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(pop :server "blabl"
:user "bloblo")))
That sort of works but gnus happily ignores the string
"/home/oub/Mail/Pop3-GMX"
it puts the mail in the file
misc in
/home/oub/Mail/mail
(~/Mail) is the default message directory.
How can I set a special directory or file for my pop3 messages? The
documentation is not very helpful.
Besides I now start to use the nnml backend. When I respool mail from
my nndoc folders, they end up in the mail/misc directory, since this
directory is the default for respooling but of course if I would like
the nnml backend for pop3 I would end up in a mess since the
directories for the pop3 and the default nnml group are the same,
which variable would be useful or what do I miss here.
Thanks
