I have succeeded in setting up gnus like so in my ~/.emacs file: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnmh "")) ; use MH method to layout mail (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil) ; No news hanndlig; only mail. (setq nnmail-spool-file "/var/spool/mail/debian") ; my mailing list spool (setq nnmail-split-methods '(("Debian" ""))) ;put new mail into ~/mail/Debian/ (require 'gnus) (require 'nnmh) Now I have to figure out how to delete (expire) most articles after they are read, except for the few that I check every day (so it will be used like a regular (but threaded) mail reader). And will mh-e renumbering the folder mess up gnus' idea of what is read?
