You're at least partly right, there is an "nnfolder:archive" server, and when I press RET I get the message "Connecting to archive...done"... but there aren't any groups there. If I edit the server I get ,---- | ;;; Editing the server. | ;; Type `C-c C-c' after you've finished editing. | | (nnfolder "archive" | (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive") | (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active") | (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) | (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)) `---- I'm not even convinced that "server" is from today's attempt to set things up. The date on the directory is 28th May, so it looks like I tried something before and that is left over from then.
