Emacs gnus isn't showing my mail group(s)

Question

The only group in the group buffer is 9: nndoc+gnus-help:gnus-help

My configuration is as follows:

(setq gnus-ignored-newsgroups "")
(setq user-mail-address "")
(setq user-full-name "Anthony Simpson")

(setq mail-sources 
      '((pop :server "pop.googlemail.com"
             :user ""
             :password ""
             :port 995
             :connection ssl
             :leave t)))

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))

Personal information removed, of course. Am I missing something? This appears to be the typical basic configuration.

Answer 1

Have you tried A-A from the group buffer to fetch and display all of the known groups? If that doesn't show your mail folders, then there is assuredly something amiss in your configuration.

Answer 2

You need to subscribe to your Gmail inbox.

In the Gnus groups buffer press U and type INBOX. You could press TABTAB to show all available groups you can subscribe to.

There is also a section on the EmacsWiki showing you how to change the groups regexp to allow the different Gmail folders.
