NNMAILDIR Configuration?

NNMAILDIR Configuration?

[Cody Baxter]

(I want to preface this that it is the first time I've posted to a
newsgroup - using gnus or anything else so if I do something odd/wrong
my apologies)

I've been trying for some time now to get nnmaildir to work in Gnus
using isync. I have set it up but I cannot seem to get it to recognize
the mail in the directory.

I have setup in my gnus config the following:

(nnmaildir "calgary"
       (directory "~/mail/ucalgary"))

Once it is added, I can open the connection and I get the following:

K      0: Calendar
U      0: Inbox
K      0: Sent Items

However when I try to open any of the mailboxes I get the following
error:

gnus-select-newsgroup: Couldn't request group nnmaildir+calgary:Inbox:
No such group: Inbox

Now if I look in /home/crb/mail/ucalgary/Inbox/cur/ there are a number
of read and unread messages for example:

"1443481160.3793_16.Feddie,U=16:2,S ".

Any suggestions on what I should do to fix this?

Thanks!

Just a wild guess: did you put this in gnus-select-method?

If so, move it to gnus-secondary-select-methods and try again.

FYI, many users including me like to set gnus-select-method to nnnil and
put everything in secondary select methods. Even I wanna suggest remove
gnus-select-method and change gnus-secondary-select-methods to
gnus-select-methods and make nnnil the default. This may avoid some
mistakes and documentation can be a little shorter.
