The above appears obsolete, for Gnus 5.7 and lower.

This means read from the ~/incoming directory (and nowhere else!).

Gnus isn't reading from /var/spool/mail.  Add another entry to
mail-sources:

(setq mail-sources
      (list '(directory ...)
            '(file :path "/var/spool/mail/lam")))

Does that work?

i try some configurations :)

1- fetchmail + procmail , gnus 

in .fetchmailrc i write this :

mda "/usr/bin/procmail -Y"

so in my directory i have this : 

< lam > ls incoming/
Divers/
< lam : nlamirault > ls incoming/Divers/
cur/  new/  tmp/
< lam > ls incoming/Divers/new/
1019576510.20874_1.lam  1019577019.20981_1.lam

I  understand  the directory  Divers  (it  comes  from my  .procmailrc
filter), but the others non ! why i have this repertory ? 

1- fetchmail without procmail, gnus 

in .gnus :

(setq mail-sources
      (list '(directory :path "/home/lam/incoming" :suffix "")
	    '(file :path "/var/spool/mail/lam" :suffix "")))


with this all mails arrived in mail:misc in topic group !

because i think gnus read directly from /var/spool/mail/lam and not in
/home/lam/incoming

But if  i delete the  line ("file :path  "/var/spool/mail/lam" :suffix
"")

i can't read my mails ! 


=====> a little disappointed !

I don't understand

This means your ~/.procmailrc is using Maildirs. This is NOT what Gnus
expects. It needs spool files, not maildirs. Please, use the following
information.

In your ~/.procmailrc, write recipes like this :

MAILDIR=$HOME/incoming

:0:
* ^WHATEVER_YOU_WANT
mailbox

:0
* ^ANOTHER_YOU_WANT
mailbox2

...



Now, put in your ~/.gnus lines like :

(setq mail-sources '((file)
                     (directory :path "~/incoming" :suffix "")))

Ok, you have maildirs, which is good. But you have to tell gnus to use
maildirs instead of other types of spools. Search for info about
nnmaildir, which is the mail backend you have to use.

It's quite easy to set up, contact me if you can't figure it out.
