problem: many folders

problem: many folders

[Thomas R. Shannon]

I usually store my mail in many folders in subdirectories of my
'nnfolder-directory'.  As far as I can tell, I need to be subscribed
to these folders just like newsgroups.  Using the
'nnfolder-generate-active-file' command really helps with this matter
but it doesn't appear to be recursive.  In other words, it doesn't
search my numerous subdirectories.  Is there any way to do this?

Say ^ in group buffer, move point to the nnfolder server, hit RET and
subscribe to the groups with u.

Only the mailboxes located in the 'nnfolder-directory' show up.  The
ones in the subdirectories under the 'nnfolder-directory' don't show
up.  At least on my system.  Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or
there's something else I need to do in addition to this?

Thanks,
