Fetchmail and maildrop deliver to ~/Maildir like this: Archives cur new Spam tmp The Archives directory contains a bunch of sub-Maildirs: Commerce cur new Sent tmp Ubuntu (etc.) I want Gnus to use a single Maildir as both my spool and backend. Relevant configuration: (setq mail-sources nil) (setq gnus-select-method `(nnmaildir "localhost" (directory "~/Maildir") (expire-age never))) All I see in the groups buffer is *: nndraft:drafts *: nndraft:queue *: nnmaildir+localhost:Archives *: nnmaildir+localhost:Spam I don't see my new mail, nor can I find a way to descend into the Archives directory and see the sub-maildirs within it. How do I do that? Is it okay to use one Maildir as both the 'spool' and 'backend' for Gnus? I like to use fetchmail and maildrop to get the mail from my 9 imap and pop accounts into the Maildir, as I like having my mail local, and can run more than one mail client without worrying about locking. I can change around the fetchmail and maildrop configuration to accomodate gnus, but I'd really rather not have separate spool and backend Maildirs. Thanks!
