Re: mail split with multiple backends

[Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE (Kai Großjohann)]

There are a number of ways to do it.  One possibility is this: suppose
you have nnml and nnfolder backends.  Then you set up
nnmail-split-methods for nnml and include a rule which puts all
nnfolder messages into a special group; nnml:nnfolder, say.

Then you enter that group, `M P a' to process-mark all articles,
temporarily change nnmail-split-methods to a value which is good for
nnfolder, then `B r' to resplit the messages using the new
nnmail-split-methods.  Specify nnfolder as the backend to use.

The second alternative is to have some program outside of Gnus which
splits the mail (such as procmail).  Then you set mail-sources such
that it only picks up the nnml part, get new mail, then set
mail-sources such that it only picks up the nnfolder part, and get new
mail again.  You also have to arrange that the first time you get new
mail, the nnml backend gets it, and the second time you do it, the
nnfolder backend gets it.

Ugly, but ought to work.
