Don't point Gnus to the maildir directly, point it to a directory containing the maildir(s) you want to read, and nothing else. You should then see the individual maildirs show up in the server buffer. Hth, Zack. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Yeah, I figured this out last night, when I was experimenting with the nnmh backend and found that it also expects to be given a directory that contains all of one's MH stores as subdirectories. For the life of me, I still can't get the nnmbox backend to recognize my ~/mbox file, but I guess I can live without it. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
