[ This is a correction of my previous message with wrong subject.  I
  actually wanted to mean nnmaildir, not nnmailbox.  Sorry for the
  mistake.  ]

I have subscribed to some high volume mailing lists, and I some miss
important messages within those less important message.

How to split nnmaildir groups?  I download my mails with mbsync and have
the following select methods:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
      (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
      (setq
       gnus-secondary-select-methods
       '((nnmaildir
          "disroot"
          (directory "~/Documents/mail/akib@disroot.org/"))
         (nnmaildir
          "gmail"
          (directory "~/Documents/mail/akib8492@gmail.com-gnus/"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And the split rules:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
      (setq nnmail-split-methods #'nnmail-split-fancy)
      (setq nnmail-split-fancy '(| "mail.other"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks in advance.

If you just specify other mailboxes as split targets (ie your
"mail.other" here), they should be automatically created. Is that not
happening for you?

No, I can't find new group.  Is my "nnmail-split-fancy" variable's value
valid?

No, good point -- the symbol `nnmail-split-fancy' has both function and
variable values. Using a sharp quote (#') selects the function value but
you want the variable value, so just a regular quote:

(setq nnmail split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy)

I think! This bit is always a little confusing.
