Also, I think you have got your parenthesis mixed up; nnml-directory and nnml-active-file is supposed to be right after the "". o o o I would rewrite the configuration you posted like this: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")) (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "" (nnml-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus.d/mail/") (nnml-active-file "~/.emacs.d/gnus.d/mail/active")) (nntp "news.gmane.org"))) (I don't mind my mail ending up in ~/Mail/, so I don't set nnml-directory and nnml-active-file in my configuration, but that's just a matter of taste.) If your login boudiccas, then you don't need to set mail-sources. If it isn't, I would add: (setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas"))) to the above. Hope this helps a little.
