They don't. Something's wrong. The only way to read a group ephemerally is to enter it with C-M- from the *Group* bufffer, and I doubt you're doing that. A simple or is the usual way to read/enter a group. See (info "(gnus)Selecting a group") [place cursor above this line and type C-x C-e to read info node] > emacs version: 21.4a-1ubuntu1 > gnus version: 5.10.6-0.CVS.20050610-1 > > relevant part of .gnus.el > > (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "m4" > (nnimap-address "mymailserver") > (nnimap-server-port 143) > (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/repos/conf/authinfo-mail-m4") > )) There's nothing wrong with this select-method, at least there's nothing in it to make your nnimap groups ephemeral. sdt
