So I typed G c and changed its backend to nnfolder+private. A new group was created in addition to the old nnml+private and new articles are then shown in both the groups. How do I delete the nnml+private group completely from the face of the earth. Moreover, when I enter the nnfolder+private: group with only one message (say, via C-u SPC 1 RET) and then subsequently quit the group, I get the following error. /---- | file-name-directory(nil) | nnfolder-save-buffer() | nnfolder-request-expire-articles((684 685 686 687 688 689 690 691 692 693 694 695 696 697 698 699 700 701 702 703 704 705 706 707 708 709 710 711 712 713 714 715 716 717 718 719 720 721 722 723 724 725 726 727 728 729 730 731 732 733 ...)
