The first thing I always ask when it comes to mail splitting is what is the reason? Is it to organize mails from different mailing lists? Then, the answer is it is much better to use Gmane which does all that for you, and more. > here is my config, but it doesnt work. > All mail goes to mail.misc. Does anyone knows > what to do? Not me, be start small is a good ... start. Try just splitting one type of mail to one group. You can change the rules, then go to a mail in a Summary buffer and press `B q'. Gnus will then tell its destination, would it arrive today or if you respooled it. If it tells you a destination that isn't to your liking, that means the rules are incorrect or not applied. This is all I have, and it works great. Yes, I said Gmane is better, and I have all that (save for the rsmh-ooa) as Gmane groups. But sometimes (rarely) stuff find their way to my mail.misc anyway, that's why I have a "mailing list out-of-action" group (mail.mm-ooa) to get them away so I don't see them twice. (setq nnmail-split-methods '( ("mail.ml-ooa" "\\(To\\|Cc\\):.*\\(help-gnu-em...@gnu.org\\|d...@gnus.org\\|emacs-...@namazu.org\\|emacs-de...@gnu.org\\|gmane-disc...@quimby.gnus.org\\|tex-l...@tug.org\\|gnuplot-i...@lists.sourceforge.net\\)") ("mail.ml-ooa" "List-Id: <linux-rpi-kernel.lists.infradead.org>") ("mail.ml-ooa" "List-Id: Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor <help-gnu-emacs.gnu.org>") ("mail.rsmh-ooa" "From:.*\\(Tikan <tikan...@gmail.com>\\|RSMH\ Uppsala\\|i...@verkstanrsmh.com\\)") ("mail.misc" "") )) If you use another backend, maybe it won't work without some changes, but it could be a start for examining how it would work using your backend as well.
