They're read-only: ,---- | Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Read-only server nndiary:") | signal(error ("Read-only server nndiary:")) | error("Read-only server %s" "nndiary:") | gnus-server-kill-server("nndiary:") | call-interactively(gnus-server-kill-server nil nil) `---- However, number 1 turned out not to work correctly: I found that when checking for new mail, some (or all) of it was split into groups of the archive server (number 1) instead of the nnml server which is the native select method. There doesn't seem to be a way in the rules for fancy splitting to specify which server to use. Things were messed up again, and I had to restore from the backup, which also got me rid of number 1. So I can't get nndiary to work --- perhaps it doesn't work because there are two nndiary servers and gnus is confused about them. Archiving doesn't work as it should, either; perhaps it's because gnus cannot handle several different archive methods at once?
