Adding code to ~/.emacs.d/init.el: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/myusername"))) #+end_src seems to do nothing. - After running M-x Gnus, there is no entry with emails in *Groups* buffer. - Command `less /var/mail/myusername` shows that there is at least one message in file.
