I got an error that "nnfolder:" wasn't a list. Hm. Well, do you really need it to be both foreign and secondary? If it's foreign only, then Gnus won't check it for new groups, I think. If it's secondary only, then you have to change it by editing your .gnus, not in the *Server* buffer. > So I've set gnus-secondary-select-methods to ((nnfolder "")).

I should have said that you shouldn't try restarting Gnus at this point - you also need to fix gnus-message-archive-method first. > I've got it set to (nnfolder ""). Looking at the code now, the default seems to be "archive", wihchi is a server name, so "nnfolder:" ought to work. So if you quit Gnus, set g-m-a-m, edit .newsrc.eld so gnus-server-alist uses the "" name and not "archive", and restart Gnus, then does it work? paul
