A couple of days before, I set up gnus as my newsreader. It works great. But I also want to read my email. Since I already set up mutt as my email client and I still want to keep it, I just want to _read_ some of my emails in gnus. Because I already use procmail as email filter, all the coming email will directly sent to mbox folder. The question is how I can use this mbox folder files in gnus. I have tried (setq mail-sources '(file :path "path\to\mbox\file")) and (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "mail" (nnml-directory "some\folder") (nnml-active-file "some\folder\active")))) But when I connect to nnml:mail, it shows nothing. I read the manual many time, but I still cant find the answer. I dont know if I make my question clear or not. In a word, I just want gnus to use the mbox folder file and fetch them when start up. I know I can respool mbox file to the new setup server, but it seems not to be automatically. Any suggestions will be appreciated. ------------ Teng Wang
