With Oort Gnus 0.01, I have:
(setq nnml-directory "~/Gnuspool/")
(setq mail-sources
'((directory :path (concat nnml-directory ".incoming/")
:suffix "")))
(setq mail-source-delete-incoming t)
(setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-topics)
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)
(setq gnus-read-active-file 'some)
However, new nnml groups -- i.e., by creating a file in
~/Gnuspool/.incoming -- don't seem to appear in the group buffer.
If I add them with `j', they appear as killed. I'd like them to be
subscribed. How can I do this?
Also, I don't see that it's useful to have an nnml group existent but
invisible. Is it possible to make them always visible?

What happens when you do `F'? Also see
gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method, that tells Gnus what to do with new
groups. Maybe you have to hit `A z' for those?

It reads the active file from nntp, then says "8406 new groups have
arrived". Otherwise nothing changes.

I have:
(setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-topics)
`A z' says "No zombie groups".

Well, actually I don't know what happens with gnus-subscribe-topics
when there is no topic that catches the group. Hm.
Maybe you need a catch-all topic? No, that seems wrong.
Hm.
`A z' isn't it? What about `A k'? `A A'?

It might be useful if you read not only your private mail, but also
some kind of shared `public folders'. Say, your system admininstrator
has an nnml server, holding popular mailing lists, for system-wide
use, but you are not interested in all of them.

AIUI, you need the nnml server to be in
gnus-secondary-select-methods. Gnus doesn't look for new groups on
foreign servers.
You also need to make sure some topic is claiming the groups, or else
they don't get subscribed (I think).
