Is there a way (with gnus-secondary-select-methods perhaps) to have
multiple instances of nnfolder? I would like to be able to read two
accounts on the same machine. What I have in mind is copying the
mailboxes, .nov, .mrk and active file from one machine onto another.
I'd then have ~/Mail and ~/Mail-external directories, each having mail
files and active files. I'd like to be able to simply rsync into
~/Mail-external. Mail actually sent to this account would end up in
~/Mail.
Any hints? Thanks very much!
-Ted

Something along this lines should do the trick...
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnfolder "mail-external"
(nnfolder-directory "~/Mail-external")
(nnfolder-newsgroups-file "~/Mail-external/newsgroups")
(nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
(nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail-external/active"))
t)
See (info "(gnus)Mail Folders") for information about these and more
server settings.
Bye, Reiner.

Thanks, this did the trick. I had tried something similar earlier, but
I imagine as is typical for me with lisp I was using
{too much,not enough} {quoting,parentheses}.
I never did figure out why nnfolder-generate-active-file wasn't working
with emacs-22, but this is better solution anyway.
Thanks very much,
Ted

Use `M-x customize-variable RET gnus-secondary-select-methods RET'
instead.
Bye, Reiner.
