Have I forgotten to enable something? If you don't have a news server called "news" on your network, you'll probably want to set your primary server to be nnnil, like so: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")) The default of nntp+news is perhaps a relic in this day and age - from when universities usually had a news server you could reach as the host "news", and most people firing up Gnus for the first time was looking for, well, just that. (The only difference, as far as I know, between the select method and the secondary select methods is that in the latter group names are prefixed with the server name). > 2. How to split incoming mails? Configure splitting or fancy splitting: * http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_177.html * http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_184.html I would probably start simple, adding a rule at a time, testing them. Regexps and the word boundary stuff can be fiddly. Nice commands to test is: B q which will show you where the current email would be split to, and B r which will move the email according to the splitting rules.
