nnimap subscription problem

nnimap subscription problem

[Nicolas Kowalski]

Hello.

When I subscribe to an nnimap group, using 'U' in the *Gnus Browse
Server* buffer, the newly subscribed group appears multiple times in
the *Group* buffer. Then, if I unsubscribe one of these instances, all
of them are deleted from this buffer.

Am I doing something the wrong way ?

Thanks in advance,
Nicolas.

PS : the underlying IMAP server is UW.

No, it shouldn't do that.  Can you C-k all the groups, save and
restart everything, and reproduce it?

I did. Gnus has the same behaviour (multiple instances for the same
group). 

I tested another thing : I killed my .newsrc, then rebuilt all
subscriptions from scratch. All went fine. It seems like this file
keep some garbage.

I get this behaviour, but only for a single nnimap group at a time,
and the ghost group shows up at the top.  If I remove the nnimap group
with the "ghost", a remaining nnimap group get the ghost.

I've seen this behaviour over many generations of Gnus, on both XEmacs
and GNU Emacs, and nobody else seems to see it, so I guess it is
something in my setup.

I've seen this on both UoW and Cyrus.
