Anything to do with Gnus goes into "~/News/". Anything to do with mail backends goes into "~/Mail/". Score files have nothing to do with mail backends. > The one thing that's bugging me a little about reading mail in gnus is > that, well, it's too much like a newsreader. ;-) Is there any easy > way to make mail groups with no unread messages still be visible `gnus-permanently-visible-groups' > and make read messages still be visible within the groups `C-u RET' > um, what happened to the help group.
