Well, I discovered one of the reasons my old files are still there; 5.11 is putting new email somewhere else other than c:/Mail/mail/ misc/, where my old mail is. That doesn't explain why c:/Mail/drafts is now empty (I think it used to have quite a few draft emails, but I can probably stand to lose most of them, anyway, and I do have a backup that's only a day or perhaps 2 old). What seems strange to me is that I can't find any files modified today in c:/Mail. Doing a bit of searching turned up #.newsrc- dribble#, .nnmail-cache, .newsrc.eld, .bbdb, and Mail/ in my Cygwin home directory. So my questions: Where is the top-level directory for mail things set in Gnus? I haven't found that yet (I've probably been looking at it and not seeing it). Is that involved with the gnus-load issue I mentioned earlier, or is that a red herring (i.e., do I even need gnus-load?)? If I can figure out how to point Gnus to my old mail structure, is it safe to subscribe to these cygwin structures (G d?) and then move or respool the files into my traditional structure? Thanks, Bill
