I have a mbox file of saved articles of a news group foo.bar ready; I copied it to ~/Archive/foo/bar, alongside ~/Archive/mail/archived, which is my Gcc folder and works fine. But when I create a group nnfolder+archive:foo.bar and click on it, I get the dreaded "Can't select group". (Dreaded by me, at least. I have never been able to do what I wanted once this message appeared). So is the "archive" address for nnfolder special in some way that prevents creation of groups other than the Gcc group? And how can I get closer to my goal, having mboxes of saved news articles with "active" entries? I do _not_ want these folders mixed with my nnml mail group directories. -- "It's not true or not."
