I would like to set (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml (nnml-directory "/home/oub/Mail/POP3-GMX")) following your logic. If this works fine. The point is I have a lot of vm folders which I want now to convert to gnus folders with nnml backend as described in the gnus documentation: - make a doc group - repool the messages to a nnml group, when I do this it ends up in "~/Mail/mail/misc" since "~/Mail" is the default message directory. I changed that now to new value "~/Mail/MESSAGES" Thanks Uwe
