read emails from a Maildir in gnus

read emails from a Maildir in gnus

[xeon Mailinglist]

Hi,

I have my email in a Maildir in the dir ~/Mail/xeonmailinglist 

. 
├── cur 
├── hadoop 
│   ├── cur 
│   ├── new 
│   └── tmp 
├── new 
└── tmp 


I set the .gnus to read the email from that dir, but the email don't appear in the gnu? Why this happens? 


.gnus 
(setq 
; gnus-select-method '(nnmaildir "mymailbox" (directory "~/Mail/xeonmailinglist")) 
 mail-sources '((maildir :path "/home/xeon/Mail/xeonmailinglist/" :subdirs ("cur" "new"))) 
 mail-source-delete-incoming t 
 ) 
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil) 
;(setq gnus-message-archive-group "nnmaildir+mymailbox:outbox") 


Thanks,

mail-sources is used to tell Gnus "This is where incoming email arrives,
get email from there and move it into the mail-groups defined in Gnus."

To me it sounds like you want to access the Maildir
~/Mail/xeonmailinglist directly in Gnus, without moving the emails? If
so, the approach you have commented out is more likely to be in the
right direction, I think.

Check out the documentation of Maildir:

 * http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_196.html

Especially the second and very last paragraphs.


  Best regards,

     Adam
