I think the customary choice is a file > `active' in the nnml-directory, ie /mnt/bak/news2nnml/active. Yes, I caught that shortly after posting and tried a number of other arrangements. The current one that seems to work looks like this (shortened the directory name too): (nnml "n2m" (nnml-directory "/mnt/bak/n2m/") (nnml-active-file "/mnt/bak/n2m/active")) No nov files are generated with the above so added: (nnml "n2m" (nnml-directory "/mnt/bak/n2m/") (nnml-nov-directory "/mnt/bak/n2m") (nnml-active-file "/mnt/bak/n2m/active")) Still pressing "g" on n2m server doesn't generate nov files. There are some other problems to: The server buffer now shows several n2m servers: (five total... I only created one) The others are read only. {nnfolder:archive} (opened) {nnml:n2m} (opened) {nnml:n2m+nnml+n2m:Dan} (opened) {nnml:n2m+nnml+n2m:JimH} (opened) {nnml:n2m+nnml+n2m:Rhoskins} (opened) {nndir:~/News/agent/nntp/enews.newsguy.com/gnu/emacs/gnus/} (opened) {nndir:~/News/agent/nntp/enews.newsguy.com/comp/lang/awk/} (opened) {nndir:~/tmp/Edited-core/} (opened) {nndir:~/tmp/Edited-cp/} (opened) {nndir:~/spool/backup/} (opened) {nndoc:gnus-help} (opened) {nndraft:} (opened) {nnml:n2m} (opened) {nnml:} (opened) {nntp:enews.newsguy.com} (opened) Restarting gnus results in a server buffer showing two n2m servers: (one opened one closed) {nnfolder:archive} (opened) {nnml:n2m} (closed) {nndir:~/News/agent/nntp/enews.newsguy.com/gnu/emacs/gnus/} (opened) {nndir:~/News/agent/nntp/enews.newsguy.com/comp/lang/awk/} (opened) {nndir:~/tmp/Edited-core/} (opened) {nndir:~/tmp/Edited-cp/} (opened) {nndir:~/spool/backup/} (opened) {nndoc:gnus-help} (opened) {nndraft:} (opened) {nnml:n2m} (opened) {nnml:} (opened) {nntp:enews.newsguy.com} (opened) The groups have now appeared in "group" buffer, but they still don't have nov files. Seems like lots of crazy behavior for something that should be kind of easy to do.
