Subject: Reading mbox folders
Date: Fri, 21 May 2010 17:16:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ht6blg$2sm$1@north.jnrs.ja.net> (raw)

I have a bunch of mbox folders that I am trying to read using gnus.

So, I have added this to my gnus-secondary-select-methods:

	(nnfolder "mail"
		  (nnfolder-directory "~/mail")
		  (nnfolder-active-file "~/mail/.active")
		  (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
		  )

Upon entering gnus, there were no groups related to the nnfolder.  I hit '^' to get the servers page, and it had nnfolder:mail.  But, when I select it, no folders are shown.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,
Uday Reddy
