I suspect what is happening with that server setup is that the first server on the list is grabbing the split. I think you should probably copy every thing to a safe place Including .gnus .emacs .newsrc.eld .newsrc and all concerned groups. Forgo mail retriveval for a bit, Then eliminate all but one server from your secondary select like: > > (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))) Without having an nnml server first, I don't think splitting will work to nnml groups. You may not be able to access the nnmh groups as nnmh groups then but gnus will allow you to access them as nndir groups. Process mark all messages just in one group and resplit it. This will show if its going to work. > (setq nnmail-split-methods > '( > ("admin-linux-br" "^Sender:.*admin-linux-br") > ("afc2000" "^Mailing-List:.*afc2000@egroups") > ("amanda-backup" "^From:.*amanda@backup\.conectiva") > ("beta" "^X-Mailing-List:.*beta") > ("bos-br" "^Sender:.*bos-br-owner") > ) > ) You syntax above is different than mine but apparently it has been working. If you are able to follow the above suggestion then in group, buffer press "F" and look for newly created nnml groups with names as in your split. If you don't want to risk your mail and news, you might want to wait for wiser heads to reply to your message. There are many much better posters here than I. Also if you are on your own machine you might want to do like I do for experiments. I create a `dummy' user account, currently its $USER `korn' who has `pdksh' as his choice of shells and is fearless when it comes to gnus experiments. Then I setup gnus there and copy my mail and news to that account to experiment with. Won't matter if you completely bolix it up. Plus its fun having someone to use `talk' with... he he. With a little configuring of sendmail.cf the dummy user can even send and recieve e-mail on the internet.
