To achieve that, I just putting in ~/.gnus.el the line: (setq gnus-agent nil) =0D . 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 | | | |=0D | | | /lib | | | /drafts | | | /queue | |=0D | /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:=0D 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. > I would expect a beginner to customize *as little as possible* until > further understanding is achieved...? 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.
