OK, I deleted my ghost groups and the groups that they were ghosting, and tried all over again to create a group. According to the instructions in this thread I should use either private or nnfolder+private as my select method, but it's not offered as an option. When you do `G m' it asks for a name, which I'm going to assume can be anything, I use "foo" no prefix no suffix, just foo. Then Gnus asked me for a select method, I tried private, but it wouldn't allow that, I then tried nnfolder+private and it wouldn't allow that. If you type at the prompt, you will be offered the following list. archive nndir nnfolder nnmbox nnspool cache nndoc nngateway nnmh nntp nnagent nndraft nnkiboze nnml nnvirtual nnbabyl nneething nnlistserv nnsoup nnwe So, I guess this all boils down to, how do you create a group that isn't recieving mail from a backend?
