How does Gnus decide which back-end to use? For example, I have different select methods, including things like this: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "") gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "" (nnml-directory "~/Mail") (nnml-active-file "~/Mail/active")) (nnml "other" (nnml-directory "~/other") (nnml-active-file "~/other/active")))) Then I have some split rules: (setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy nnmail-split-fancy '(| ;; Various rules here and the final destination: "misc")) So incoming mail goes normally to "misc" group which is ~/Mail/misc directory in the file system. But how does Gnus decide to put under ~/Mail and not under ~/other (see my other nnml configuration above)? Is it possible to put (split) some mail to "nnml:foo" and some to "nnml+other:bar"? It seems that none of the examples in Gnus manual tell how to change the destination back-end or how to split different mail to different back-ends. PS. And my terminology may also be wrong. I'm not always sure when to speak of back-ends, select methods or servers. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWHmpWAAoJEHGdadMkU5RQG+EP/iTI05ZfellXteVnDkPXQzPH N8s1XRbQRpExeEYh3/eHsXJx5O0ppkIOYJdyqzunnMqPmhn/zs3LaNpb8p+NplWt x6dDyRAiLuYj2N8wTo6RcwjhyHC3cHuYkWMsw5ulGg9kWTLWHV5Q5mqSXVdDdfWr lgI3oo57/Xk0IiSVkjJ7CkAPFfRk1P7Dk9xPCgG1BB2j7bhX1TfCSzwk9p3EAk6s Thp/90L6bI2EFTJNU1s/4bjtspMbc95R+tn/tot8qSRZ8GV+OiyoKg/dEfBrm2Of GGw90kUt8M15p+UZvVBKtlEQAybc961SlyWUIZmMnTN+ChZe38E4iWRRcPtUn+i5 YnFg0/twia5Nz57O0MBxbIBMQdznlIYkEgcY1thCTkoc6ihew3NESwtydhlT9W3G XXlg/hy2SxJF+KeR6E7X88lvZ7VsujFCEAYIBZ42XU5sWqVJpt8vuH55oPnQ/xa6 iGPjLxeo994HEemeYxrYnSHVlDFRBctFvA5+AowO1VtFyk9f6Pf1SeGalibcbLoj FVlJpfLZEVbmQTKIWQtrPnW302tnOCFJKl7YYMtOqB1rRSjuTK0x33crjEITfABZ IwCxbisIfbtGMF/SxMtJ1TWqcIRRTiOzEE6drBmyTh1VPGxGx1m5DTv6EDQ4OVXS Ao09Er5DiA/gR/tGeZ+d =IuMB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- --===============8741661100956597753== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline
