Re: How to change the default ~/Mail and ~/News dirs with their subdirs?

["romeomedina\@libero\.it" <romeomedina@libero.it>]

It seems that I managed to eliminate the 'agent', 'agent/lib' and 'queue'
subdirs from the tree I reported in my previous message. To achieve that,
I just putting in  ~/.gnus.el the line:

(setq gnus-agent nil)

. But now, after receiving mail, another two dirs were created
by gnus: 'mail' and 'mail/misc'. In fact, now my tree is the following:


   ~/
    |
    |
    |
    /mail
	|
	|
	|
	/agent
	|    |
	|    |
	|    |
	|    /lib
	|
	|
	|
	/drafts
	|
	|
	|
	/queue
	|
	|
	|
	/received-mail
	|	     |
	|	     |
	|	     |
	|	     /mail
	|		 |
	|		 |
	|		 |
	|		 /misc
	|
	|
	|
	/sent-mail

. Any idea of how to eliminate 'mail' and 'mail/misc'?
I couldn't find an answer in the Manual.

Adam, what you say is quite right; but just I like getting into the internal
working. And, after all, I don't want to store mail in a 'mail/misc'
subdir of a 'mail' dir unless it is strictly necessary:
it's just what I'd like to work out: I imagine it isn't.
Yes, I can't know whether the programme, Gnus, needs those
directories that I don't know the meaning of yet, but it's just what
I'd like to work out, even at the beginning.

That's right in some way, and in fact I want to customize as little
as possible. But just for that I need to have a clean start:
all those subdirs puzzle me: this is my little as possible.


Cheers, thanks,
Rodolfo
