Hi,
I have just converted all my mail to maildir format. I want to try the
nnmaildir backend but I can't quite figure it out.
I have put this in my .gnus.el:
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnmaildir ""
(directory "~/Maildir")))
All the maildir directories are under this folder, like this:
~/Maildir/
~/Maildir/.spam
~/Maildir/.Trash
~/Maildir/.lists.gnus
etc.
Now, when I open gnus, I need to subscribe to the new maildirs, right?
So I press U and type nnmaildir: and enter. And then no maildir
appears.
Am I missing something crucial here?

Lars Tobias

nnmaildir ignores anything starting with ".". I'd suggest:
$ cd ~/Maildir
$ mkdir ~/nnmaildir
$ for i in .[!.]*; do ln -s ~/Maildir/"$i" ~/nnmaildir/"${i#.}"; done
$ ln -s ~/Maildir ~/nnmaildir/inbox
Then you can use ~/nnmaildir in your select method.
