I've just tried to upgrade from an oldish pgnus version to pgnus-0.80
with the new fancy mail spool stuff.
My mail is split by procmail into files like Mail.Inbox.spool,
ML.ROOTS-L.spool, etc all in my ~/procmail-spool/ directory. My old configuration doesn't work anymore.
I've read through the archives, but there doesn't seem to be a full,
idiot-proof example.
Please can you lend me a clue?
Thanks.

and spread the clue around. All I recall is that some recent
pterrygnus broke the thing I'm quoted as saying in the FAQ. And I
don't know what I'll have to do if I go from Q to P now.

I just reset nnmail-spool-file as such:
(setq nnmail-spool-file `((directory :path
,(expand-file-name "~/.Mail/incoming"))
(file :path "/usr/spool/mail/dsg")))
And it all seems to work fine, if a bit slower since it now searches
the directory for a spool file for *all* my nnml groups. I've
considered setting up a second nnml server strictly for those groups
that actually receive mail, but thus far I've been too lazy.

I used that advice to setup my Gnus eons ago :)
Note that I haven't done this yet (I'm a little nervous about
upgrading past my Pgnus 0.66 :), but Scott Hoffmann posted his setup
back in Feb. He has:
;; gnus customizations
(setq gnus-procmail-suffix ".spool"
gnus-nntp-server nil;; required to use gnus-select-method
gnus-select-method (list 'nntp "news.mindspring.com")
gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))
gnus-uncacheable-groups "^nnml"
)
;; this stuff should make us work with procmail nicely
(setq nnml-directory "/home/shofmann/Mail/spool"
nnml-nov-is-evil t
)
(setq nnmail-use-procmail t
nnmail-spool-file '((directory :path "/home/shofmann/Mail/spool"
:suffix ".spool"))
)
Modify to suit obviously.
Hope that helps, let me know so I can fearlessly upgrade :)
Chris

Perhaps this one will help you:

| This doesn't work with Pterodactyl Gnus. You have to use something
| like this instead:
|
| (setq
| gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))
| nnmail-spool-file '((directory :path "~/.incoming/"
| :suffix ".spool")))
(The FAQ won't get updated to reflect changes in alpha code, which is
quite reasonable.)

Urgh. Ugh. I have hundreds of nnml: groups. I'm not sure I *want*
it to probe for each one of those groups! Is this ever going to work
the other way again, or am I now stuck on qgnus for the rest of my
life, or will I have to live with ree-a-l-l-y s-l-l-o-w new mail?

Pgnus did that for a while, but it should be back to the old behavior
by now, I think.
