^^^^^^
This should be nnnil - not nnnmil.

Here you are overwriting the other select method you set above - which
is confusing :-)

Adding the same server to gnus-secondary-select-methods as the one you
just have set in gnus-select-method is probably a bad idea.

mail-sources is a variable by itself, it should not be part of your
gnus-secondary-select-methods definition.
Also, I think you have got your parenthesis mixed up; nnml-directory and
nnml-active-file is supposed to be right after the "".
o o o
I would rewrite the configuration you posted like this:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""
(nnml-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus.d/mail/")
(nnml-active-file "~/.emacs.d/gnus.d/mail/active"))
(nntp "news.gmane.org")))
(I don't mind my mail ending up in ~/Mail/, so I don't set
nnml-directory and nnml-active-file in my configuration, but that's just
a matter of taste.)
If your login boudiccas, then you don't need to set mail-sources. If it
isn't, I would add:
(setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas")))
to the above.
Hope this helps a little.
Best regards,
Adam
