The directories are not in the usual location for the already existing nnml server, but exist on a USB drive. I tried creating another nnml server but it appears that you can only have one nnml server in gnus-secondary-select-methods. I am not sure if an another backend server can make use use of both the .overview and .marks files. It appears (I may be wrong) that the nnmaildir backend has a different structure than an nnml directory. Any help will be appreciated. Geotal
