Ah, that sounds fine. I don't care if those messages stay on the server or not. I guess you are referring to mail-sources? If so, this is where I get completely confused between select methods, mail sources, etc. and I worry about screwing up my (so far) working configuration. Given that I have a number of folders already (with multiple imap and nttp servers), some of which were defined using gnus-secondary-select-methods and others directly in the server buffer, what is the easiest/cleanest way in which to add a new server which uses pop?
