open several existing 'maildir' mailboxes

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hi,

I am using mutt and procmail for a while and just changed the 
mailbox-format from mbox to maildir. Like mentioned the mail is filtered 
with procmail and my Mailfolder looks like:

~/MuttMail/
  CFD-OpenFoam_Other/
  CFD-Paraview/
  CFD-VTK/
  ALLG-1und1/

where every folder has the standard subdir: new, tmp, cur

Now, for the setup of Gnus I am not sure how I could do that.

(setq mail-sources
'((nnmaildir :path "~/MuttMail/CFD-VTK/" :subdirs ("cur" "new"))))

A while ago I used gnus with the nnml-backend and with 'internal' 
filtering by gnus that worked well.
Does anybody have an idea?

Greetings!
Fabian

Are you sure that you want to use maildir as a mail source instead of
using nnmaildir?

If it's standard, you probably don't need to specify man server
parameters.  See (info "(gnus)Maildir") for details.

The setup may look like this:

(add-to-list
 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
 '(nnmaildir "test"
	     (directory "foo")
	     (create-directory "bar")
	     (directory-files nnheader-directory-files-safe)
	     (get-new-mail t)) t)

Bye, Reiner.

Thanks for your hints! I will try it out and see if I can get it running...
