Surely a dumb question, but I don't have it working correctly ...
I have several different mail spool files that I would like to
consider as a single logical mailbox. nnimap-split-inbox seems to do
this quite well:
nnimap-split-inbox '("INBOX" "*.incoming")
And nnimap-split-fancy also seems to work OK for me:
nnimap-split-fancy
'(|
("subject" "test1" "mailbox1")
("subject" "test2" "mailbox2")
("subject" "test3" "mailbox3")
"unsorted")
The problem I have is mapping the inboxes to the splitting, which I
understand should be done with nnimap-split-rule. I want to call the
same split-fancy rule on every one of my split inboxes. I haven't
figured out what to set for nnimap-split-rule yet. Right now I have
nnimap-split-rule 'nnimap-split-fancy
but I've also tried
nnimap-split-rule '((".*" (".*" nnimap-split-fancy)))
with no success. I've been able to split from INBOX but not from the
*.incoming boxes. Suggestions as to how to set nnimap-split-rule?
Thanks.

Do you have a mailbox named *.incoming? Wildcards are not supported.

Yup. Inbox-specific splitting is only possible with
nnimap-split-rule, fancy splitting does not support it.

Then you don't need inbox-specific splitting at all?

Both should work. But I suspect the reason *.incoming doesn't work is
because there is no mailbox named *.incoming.

Do you have a mailbox named *.incoming? Wildcards are not supported.
No. I have a bulk.incoming and a spam.incoming. Listing them
explicitly makes this work fine if I use nnimap-split-rule set to
nnimap-split-fancy. Woo hoo!
Yup. Inbox-specific splitting is only possible with
nnimap-split-rule, fancy splitting does not support it.

Correct, I would like all named inboxes treated as one logical inbox.
Thanks! One more piece of the puzzle toward getting this working.
