Hello.
I use procmail to split my mail, and nnml as a backend.
M-x gnus-version gives:
Gnus v5.5; nntp 5.0; nnml 1.0; nndoc 1.0; nnfolder 1.0
The problem is, when I move mail from one mailgroup to another, the
active file is not updated, and the mail is seemlingly lost. I then
have to update the active file by hand to see the mail again.
M-g on the group doesn't help either.
Can anyone give a hint as to what I am doing wrong?

I'm not able to reproduce the bug. You're not suffering from the
dreaded nnml-with-two-active-files-syndrome, are you? Do a
"find ~ -name active" (or something) to see whether nnml thinks it
resides in two separate directories.

I have two active files, one for nnml, and one for nnfolder (which is
my archive for outgoing mail.)
/home/ssm/Mail/Outgoing/active
/home/ssm/Mail/active
nnml updates the active file (/home/ssm/Mail/active) just fine when
getting mail the normal way, except that the mail I moved is not
visible. I'm not sure if the moved mail gets overwritten or not, I
could do a test if that would help.
My .gnus.el (or the relevant parts of it, minus header munger and
expire information) is located at http://www.rlyeh.net/~ssm/.gnus.el

Does evaluating
(nnmail-save-active nnml-group-alist nnml-active-file)
do anything useful after moving an article to an nnml group?
