imapgrab + gnus

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

Imapgrab allows to download messages from a imap server
either in mbox or in mdir format. The mbox format is not a
problem for gnus but when I try to read the messages via
gnus via G-d then gnus claims that there are no messages.

The messages imapgrab downloaded are of the form 
1299516141.M826546P10046Q0R652c30fe2fedd5c2.gilgamesch

Actually the dir structure looks more like a imap server. 

drwxr-xr-x 2 oub oub     1 Mar  7 17:42 cur
drwxr-xr-x 2 oub oub 12288 Mar  7 17:48 new
drwxr-xr-x 2 oub oub     1 Mar  7 17:48 tmp
So should I


use the nnimap backend but how?

This is Maildir.  Use the nnmaildir backend.

Ok forgive my ignorance, but is seems that I can't connect
via
G d or any other combination.


I tried in the server buffer to add that directory but it
did not work neither. What is the fasted way to access this
directory.

In the server buffer, `a'dd the server with the nnmaildir method.  Then
`e'dit the server definition to set the parameters to 

(nnmaildir "home"
   (directory "~/Maildir"))

hit `C-c C-c' to end editing, RET to enter the server group list, `u'
there to subscribe...  All the usual stuff.

Thanks!
Well this is what I tried:

(nnmaildir "home"
		   (directory "/home/oub/ALLES/ETC/Soft8/ImapGrab/BkupMail/Afrika/new"))

Or 

(nnmaildir "home"
		   (directory "/home/oub/ALLES/ETC/Soft8/ImapGrab/BkupMail/Afrika"))

But I cannot  open the server nor subscribe to it.

The structure of the directory  Africa is:

drwxr-xr-x 2 oub oub  1 Mar  8 17:51 cur
drwxr-xr-x 2 oub oub 24 Mar  8 17:51 new
drwxr-xr-x 2 oub oub  1 Mar  8 17:51 tmp
