Subject: Using gnus with locally stored email
Date: Sat, 02 Oct 2010 10:21:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <83fwwpdmy2.fsf@garydjones.name> (raw)
I've got a whole pile of locally stored mail in mbox files in ~/Mail and
subdirectories thereof. Mutt is pretty easily configured to handle that,
and that's what I used exclusively until a few months ago.
As I've been moving ever more to emacs, I find myself using gnus more
and more, but haven't tried integrating locally stored email (which I
still use fetchmail & procmail). What's my best way of doing that? I
still want to suck some email down to my own HD, and that's not going to
change, so please don't suggest using imap :)
If I can, I would still like the email to be accessible to mutt, even if
I only rarely use it. Would nnfolder screw that up? Otherwise, that
looks like the closest to what I already have, right? Or
(setq mail-sources
'((directory :path "/home/gary/Mail")))
(Actually I tried just this, and nothing happened - I guess I have to
also set something else?)
