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?)
