I have no nnfolder- settings in my .gnus.el When I eradicate any trace of what was previously set up, I get ~/Mail/archive/ created, empty, and the following settings get copied into my servers: (nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive") (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)) And these look to be the current values of those variables as well. When I use "G m" to make "testing" in "nnfolder:", I get a file named ~/Mail/testing, and ~/Mail/active gets updated. This seems contrary to the settings above. And in fact, when I then browse the server from the servers, I get no groups again. Shouldn't it be ~/Mail/archive/testing and shouldn't it touch ~/Mail/archive/active, and not mix that with my nnml: active file? -- Randal L.
