Currently, when ever I want to refert to a server mailbox name (e.g., to move from my main inbox to some other) I have to use something like: nnimap+pectopah:INBOX.list.ding Gnus defaults the part up to the colon, which is usally good, but I have to type that INBOX. thing every time. Is there a way to tell Gnus to find out the namespace from the server and use this as a prefix so I don't have to? http://www.lysator.liu.se/~forsberg/docs/Gnus_and_Courier.xml has some code which hides this display from the user, but IMHO that's not the right thing -- gnus can figure out the prefix from the server. Gnus *info* mentions "A note on namespaces" about mutant UoW IMAP server behavior but doesn't say anything about setting one manually or automatically. Does Gnus have a way to determine this from the server? Have it configured manually? use it when referring to mailbox names, for retrieval, creation, moving, etc? Thanks.
