nnml does not store in mbox format: ,----[ 6.3.13.3 Mail Spool <http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_194.html#SEC194> ] | | If you use this back end, Gnus will split all incoming mail into files, | one file for each mail, and put the articles into the corresponding | directories under the directory specified by the nnml-directory | variable.
