My gnus won't tell me where it's putting my mail

My gnus won't tell me where it's putting my mail

[Laura Conrad]

I just changed ISP's, and decided to put nnml as the primary server
and not list the news server at all except in the server buffer. This
was because the news server was down for  several hours, and it was
being a pain to have to ^C out of the news checking to get the mail.

I believe the problem I describe below actually started while the news
was down, and before I changed the .gnus.el to make nnml the primary
server.

Now, when I get mail, gnus puts it into the appropriate folders, but
doesn't display the number of unread messages in the folders, and when 
I find them using j in the summary buffer, they aren't sorted right.  

How do I fix this?  I'm using yesterday afternoon's cvs. (That is, it
happened from a less recent CVS, and I upgraded after it happened to
see if it would help, and it didn't.)

What did you do to ~/.newsrc.eld?  There, Gnus takes note of the
server each message comes from.  This might be "nnml:" or (nnml "")
for secondary nnml groups, and it would be nil for native groups.

Since moving nnml from gnus-secondary-select-methods to
gnus-select-method made all nnml groups native...
