Subject: nnbabyl and "Can't select group"
Date: 19 Feb 1997 12:53:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <whzpx1j9l7.fsf@tyr.metis.no> (raw)

Platform: UltraSPARC, Solaris 2.5.1, GNU Emacs 19.34, Red Gnus 0.82

Just for trying it out, I've tried putting RMAIL babyl folders in
	~/test1
	~/Mail/test1
	~/mail/test1

To see if I could open them with
	Groups -> Foreign groups -> Make a foreign group
in the *Groups* buffer.  At the prompt for "Group name:", I've tried
with "test1", "test2", and "test3".

On all of these, I get "Can't select group" when I try to enter them,
from the *Groups* buffer.

I've been quickly reading up on RMAIL (which I haven't used since
1990) and skimming through the nnbabyl.el file, without getting any
wiser. 

I guess what I'm asking, is what RMAIL folders should be named, for
the nnbabyl backend to find them.

Thanx!
