When procmail tries to implement a rule, and there's no directory matching the target name, it creates a _file_ by that name. Thereafter, it just appends to that file. That didn't quite solve it, though. I found an additional procmail rule i had to use: :0 fhw | /usr/bin/formail -a Message-Id: -a "Subject: (None)" I found this recipe here: http://blog-old.vojta.name/archives/cat_6.html Then, i just set up the simplest possible ~/.gnus imaginable: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "")) (setq mail-sources '( (directory :path "/home/me/FetchedMail") )) That's all. Now it works, and far faster than my straight IMAP access was. And no silly 50 MB quota either.
