I see this problem frequently and haven't come up with a fix or reliable workaround. I have an nnimap server named "NewHorse". A split looks for lists and puts them into groups based on the list name. When I subscribe to a new list, the mail comes in and gnus appears to do the split. First problem is that gnus doesn't ever show me this group in my *Group* buffer. I go into the server buffer, find the new group marked with a "K", do a "U" on it. Back in *Group* I try to enter the group, it says "Couldn't open server". Back ni *Server* it shows an obviously broken group; here's my list: {nnml:archive} (opened) {nnimap:NewHorse+nnimap+NewHorse:INBOX.list.zope} (denied) {nnimap:NewHorse} (opened) {nnml:} (opened) Looks like there's some mis-parsing or mis-appending going on. The new group should be "INBOX.list.zope" in server {nnimap:NewHorse}. I can't even "k" kill-server, the error says it's "Read-only server $uglyname". How do I un-mangle corrupted server/group things? How do I prevent the corruption from occurring in the first place? How do I get newly-appeared groups on the server to appear subscribed in *Groups*? Below, I've excerpted what I hope will be the relevant parts of my .gnus file. Thanks.
