The more precise the > details, the better. During the following, do not send a message. I presume that nnml is your primary mail backend, and that you are satisfied with a single nnml:outgoing group, which is on the same server as your other nnml mail. >>From the *Group* buffer, use `G m outgoing RET nnml: RET' (note the colon) to create your new outgoing group. Enter the nnfolder+archive:misc-mail group with C-u RET and make sure to display all articles. Type `M P a' to mark them all. Type `B m nnml:outgoing RET' to move them all to the new archive group, preserving marks. Change your setting for gnus-message-archive-group from "misc-mail" to "nnml:outgoing" (with "nnml:"). The value for gnus-message-archive-method does not really matter -- just leave it as it is. Does this help? kai -- Abort this operation? [OK] [Cancel]
