(Or for an ephemeral version use `G F' You will be prompted for a filename, where you input the full name of mbox file like ~/mbox Only if you really need a permanent folder... you would create a new server. Read the manual on that subject C-h i m gnus and scroll quite a ways down to Server Buffer Under the bigger heading: SERVER BUFFER [...] * Creating a Virtual Server:: An example session. Or just click on this if you are reading with gnus. (info "(gnus)Creating a Virtual Server") You will notice you are lacking parts of the specification necessary. Once you've read that, and tried again... post back if you still need that server and need and help.
