Since ~/Mail/foo cannot both be a file and a directory, instant lossage resulted. You should add server parameters to move this select method to some other directory: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnfolder "Archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/mail-archive/") (nnfolder-active-file "~/mail-archive/active")))) Not sure whether you need to add more parameters -- have a look in the Gnus info file. You know that it works if you _don't_ get an nnfolder group for every nnml group you have. You have to create the nnfolder groups manually with `G m' (or they will be created automatically when you `B m' a message to them). kai -- Be indiscrete. Do it continuously.
