ok, I tried following the manual & added/edited this to my private
.gnus.el
,----
| (setq nnmail-spool-file "/var/spool/mail/hadron")
| (setq nnml-directory "~/Mail/nnml")
|
| (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "localhost"))
|
| (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
| '((nnmaildir "MyMail" (directory "~/Mail/"))
| (nnml "")))
`----
Gnus now shows this group:
nnml+/var/spool/mail/hadron:mail.misc
But when I try to select it I get these messages:
,----
| Retrieving newsgroup: nnml+/var/spool/mail/hadron:mail.misc...
| Loading disp-table...done
| Loading gnus-ml...done
| gnus-server-opened: Trying to require a method that doesn't exist
`----
Any ideas? How to debug further?
