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"))) hth Glyn
