I want to try out gnus, but have got nowhere so far. I would greatly
appreciate instruction on how to read mail stored locally in maildirs.
My email is downloaded by getmail, and stored by procmail into a variety
of maildirs stored under ~/email/. However in order to start playing with
gnus, I have created the directory ~/Maildir containing a single
maildir-format directory:
~> ls ~/Maildir/dan-mail/
cur new tmp
My ~/.gnus.el contains
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnmaildir "" (directory "/home/dan/Maildir/"))))
When I start gnus I enter a (Group Plugged) buffer which is empty
with the message "No more unread newsgroups". When I hit "L" I see
0: nndraft:queue
0: nndraft:drafts
When I hit "^" I enter a (Server Plugged) buffer containing
{nnfolder:archive} (closed)
RET on that line results in a message "Connecting to archive ... done", after
which "L" displays
{nnfolder:archive} (opened)
This isn't the first time I've lost a few hours trying to get started
with gnus, so I am giving up and sending this (admittedly pathetic) email.
Thanks for any help!
Dan
