How stable is it? I've had no problems using the current version. The new version is, at the present moment, unusable, due to a (simple, I think) bug in group naming. I hope to get it out this week, but that may be a bit optimistic. > At least it seems there is no documentation for it in the CVS > version.

I guess I'll put nnmaildir-save-mail on the todo list, then. :) Then I think you'll be able to use it with splitting by having a nnmail-derived backend (nnmaildir is *not* nnmail-derived) gather your mailfrom mail-sources and split it into the destination (nnmaildir, or not) groups. The server that does the splitting need not have any actual groups on it, I think, but I could be wrong. > By the way: I just wondered whether there is a way to have the summary > buffer sorted in a way that articles marked as "expirable" normally > don't show up at all or are at least all sorted out to the end of the > summary even when entering a group with no new mail. Well, you could use a really low expiry-wait and have expired mail get sent to another group, which has a normal expiry-wait. Then you have other problems, though: either you have double the number of groups, or you no longer can easily tell which group each expired message came from; also, the messages show up as new after they're expired into the other group. (The new nnmaildir helps here, though - you can set the group parameter always-marks to '(read), and nnmaildir will report that all articles have the read mark.) paul
