Well, I should have explained. I have gnus keep my nnfolder files in
the ~/Mail directory. I use procmail to put email from mailing lists
into files in ~/Mail/spool (one file per mailing list). So,
~/Mail/spool is a directory, not a file.

I've forgotten most of this stuff, but here are two things you can
try. First, you need to subscribe to the groups as far as I can
remember (use the U key in the groups buffer above). The other is the
command nnfolder-generate-active-file which often seems to do
something useful.

It didn't work for me when I installed it. I run the non-gnome
version.
Sorry I'm not able to help more than that. Gnus is a very good mail
reader once you get it working though, don't quite just yet ;-)
