Thanks for the quick response!

Reading this, it appears to me that I was confused about what
gnus-select-method does :-) I now checked my .emacs and learn that I use the
customized variable mail-sources to tell gnus where to get my mail from,
gnus-select-method to tell gnus where to get my news from, and
gnus-secondary-select-method to tell gnus where to store my mail. The last
currently just reads ((nnml "")).
In the documentation I see that nnml allows a parameter nnml-directory. Could
I set this to a tramp path also? This would have the advantage that I do not
have to respool my old mail. Also, the doc says that nnmaildir uses many many
inodes (while nnml only uses many). Should I worry about this?
Is there a particular reason to prefer nnmaildir over nnml in my setting? (I
was happy with nnml for some 10 years now, but of course, the setting is
slightly different now.)
Many many thanks,
Martin
