There's no news server at my work so I've made gnus-select-method
connect to our (shudder) Exchange server:
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nnimap "hemi"
(nnimap-address "ourserver.example.gov")
(nnimap-stream ssl)
...))
But there's some flakiness: some groups are duplicated in my *Group*
buffer:
INBOX/list/ice-dev
nnimap+hemi:INBOX/list/ice-dev
I have LOTS of such duplicated groups and thus messages. My *Server*
buffer shows the one IMAP server:
{nnimap:hemi} (opened)
in addition to nnfolder, nndraft, and nndoc servers.
If I read a msg in one of the group-variants (e.g.,
INBOX/list/ice-dev) I see it also in the other group-variant (e.g.,
nnimap+hemi:INBOX/list/ice-dev).
Am I doing something wrong in my source specification? Is it
inappropriate to use nnimap as the primary gnus-select-method? If I
should use gnus-secondary-select-method for nnimap instead, I can't
find a way to tell gnus-select-method not to try any news/mail server.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Maye you should set
,----[ C-h v gnus-select-method RET ]
| gnus-select-method is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is (nnnil "")
`----
and instead use the following for your /mail-change/ server:
,----[ C-h v gnus-secondary-select-methods RET ]
| gnus-secondary-select-methods is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is
| ((nnimap "FHI"
[...]
| Documentation:
| A list of secondary methods that will be used for reading news.
| This is a list where each element is a complete select method (see
| `gnus-select-method').
`----
This suggestion goes over the list quite often and seems to work quite
well.
Greetings,
Jochen

That's it. I've used it in the past but this time I was misspelling
it as "nnil" and couldn't find anything on it in the Gnus *info* docs
(I can't find any mention of "nnnil" in *info* either)-:

Got it, perfect.
Thanks!
