slight bug in .gnus for reading mail?

[Koyote]

I've got a .gnus configured as best I can tell according to the manual -
emacs 20.7 and gnus 5.7 are what I am forced to use right now.

this is the relevant portion of my .gnus 

(setq mail-sources 
      '(maildir :path "~/Maildir/"
		:subdirs ("cur" "new")))
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "acme.koyote.cx")
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")))
(setq nnmail-split-methods
      '(("mail.inbox" "")))


yet I can't seem to see any mail or grops to read mail in.

?

Did you read the Gnus 5.7 manual?  AFAIK, it does not support the new
mail-sources variable (uses nnmail-spool-file instead), and it also
doesn't support the maildir functionality.

If you want to read the correct manual for the software you're using,
I recommend to NOT look in the web.  Instead, type C-h i and then
choose Gnus from the list.
