Store mails in diferent mbox

Store mails in diferent mbox

[someusernamehere]

I store currently my mail in mbox, but all my mail is stored in the
same mbox file, but I
want to separate this, for example I'm subscried to some mailings
lists, I want to store
in other mbox file, how I can check this?

I only currently have:

(setq nnmbox-mbox-file "~/caixa")

Either you rely on an external tool (IMHO maldrop is better than
procmail even if it is less well-known) or you use what is called "mail
splitting" in Gnus itself. This is well detailed in the manual. As every
one has very personal settings in this area, I think it is better to
experiment your own setting (starting simple) than pasting some existing
code.

Hey Damien, thanks for you reply, I have read yesterday these
links :), what I dont understand
and have no read, is if "mail splitting", for example:

(setq nnmail-split-methods
  '(("mail.junk" "^From:.*Lars Ingebrigtsen")
    ("mail.other" "")))

store the mail in a mbox file called mail.junk and mail.other?, or is
not mbox files?,
this is the question


thanks

splitting only knows about target *groups*, so the storage associated to
these groups will depend on with which backend they have been created
(nnml, nnmbox, nnfolder...). The details are here :

I have read in the manuals page some about procmail, but I see
examples for procmail with nnmail and maildir format but no with mbox,
how do this works?

I am not using procmail myself, but I remember it can work with mbox
files without problem. You might consider having a look at maildrop, it
is much easier to learn and setup than procmail.
