Did you create mail main directory? Double check it. And if you are in
group buffer press '^'. It will move you to server buffer. Look how
your maildir backend is marked. Read *Messages* buffer after starting
gnus.

Hm, my mail system is rather complicated. I tried to solve problem with
viruses and spam which fulfeels my mail boxes every day so I use
mailfilter+fetchmail+procmail+spamassasin to get mails from POP
accounts filter it and clean put to my local machine (/var/mail/kobit)
spool.

GNUS automatically gets new mails from this location. Parameter
(get-new-mail t)
tells GNUS to do so.

If anyone is interested in filtering mail with above tools I can send
description.
