Hi Wazow,
I think the above is not quite enough to tell Gnus where to look for
mail.
The Gnus FAQ http://my.gnus.org/faq/html-nochunks/#id2433287 documents
this pretty well
You need something like
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnmaildir ""))
(eval-after-load "mail-source"
'(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(maildir :path "/home/wazow/.maildir/"
:subdirs ("cur" "new" "tmp" "whatever")))
