I have nearly all the default settings, and decided to start using nnfolder:'s to hold some of my older mail (fewer inodes). I've never used that nnfolder:archive thing, but it's still hanging around. As far as I can see, there's a nnfolder-directory set to ~/Mail (the default), except sometimes it gets set to ~/Mail/archive. When I look at the nnfolder:archive server, I see this: (nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive") (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)) But before I've examined that, nnfolder-directory is ~/Mail. So, I tried G-M'ing a group with "arch.todo" "nnfolder". It created a directory ~/Mail/arch/todo (note, NOT under ~/Mail/archive), which nnml on next invocation decided was an nnml group. It also took about three or four tries to get everyone to agree that the folder wasn't there again. Help! What am I doing wrong? I'm missing something very simple, I'm sure. But it doesn't look like it works "out of the box". -- Randal L.
