Yes, but you said that Gnus got confused because it knew it created it, but I deleted it. But there is no way that Gnus can know that it created it, as far as I can tell, since I've deleted all traces of it. >>>>> Edit your .gnus to make >>>>> gnus-message-archive-method nil;=20 >>>> >>>> I've got it set to (nnfolder ""). >>> >>> Hm.

In all of my testing, I have had gnus-m-archive-method set to one thing or another (never left unset), and still gnus gives me lots of errors now. I don't know how to fix it so I can proceed without errors. Somehow my weird set-up with two servers with the same name worked, but I'd prefer to not go back to that. --=20 Dan Christensen jdc+news@uwo.ca
