Hi all, it's my first day with gnus and I'm pretty happy with the level of
integration I was able to achieve with gmail imap. Nevertheless, there are a
few quirks remaining and any help from the experienced users here would be
very much appreciated. Let's see:
1) I would like to include my sent emails in the threads where they belong,
like in the "conversation" view gmail offers. There is a suggestion somewhere
in the net to create a virtual group merging the inbox and the sent mail
groups, but this will only work for threads in the inbox. Another option is to
add a copy of any sent mail to the current group, i.e. something like:
(setq gnus-message-archive-group (lambda (g) (concat "nnimap+gmail:" g)))
But this has some problems: 1.i) I don't know how to do this *only* for the
gmail server. 1.ii) Obviously it doesn't work for emails sent from the
webmail.
Nevertheless, being able to solve 1.i alone would be very good news for me.
2) I would like to postpone a message directly to a remote group (ideally, the
gmail drafts folder). Currently I'm able to locally postpone a message and
then move it to the remote group. A way to automate this is what I can't come
with (or, better, to directly store the draft in the remote group, which I'm
afraid is not possible).
Well, I think that's all for the time being. Thank you in advance.
Cheers

Have a look at the `gcc-self' group parameter.
,----[ (info "(gnus)Group Parameters") ]
| ‘gcc-self’
| If ‘(gcc-self . t)’ is present in the group parameter list, newly
| composed messages will be ‘Gcc’’d to the current group. If
| ‘(gcc-self . none)’ is present, no ‘Gcc:’ header will be generated,
| if ‘(gcc-self . "string")’ is present, this string will be inserted
| literally as a ‘gcc’ header. This parameter takes precedence over
| any default ‘Gcc’ rules as described later (*note Archived
| Messages::), with the exception for messages to resend.
|
| *Caveat*: Adding ‘(gcc-self . t)’ to the parameter list of ‘nntp’
| groups (or the like) isn’t valid. An ‘nntp’ server doesn’t accept
| articles.
`----
Here's my gcc-self related settings:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-parameters
`((,(rx "nnimap+")
(gcc-self . t))
;; Mailing List exceptions
(,(rx "nnimap+Uni:ml/")
(gcc-self . "nnimap+Uni:Sent"))
(,(rx "nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.mailinglists.")
(gcc-self . "nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.Sent Items"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So I gcc the current group for all my IMAP accounts, except for mailing
list groups, where I gcc the account's sent mail folder.
To have that only for your Gmail account, you would change the regex to
something like ,(rx "nnimap+Gmail") or whatever you've named your gmail
account.

I think this question pops up here once in a while, but so far nobody
seems to have implemented that feature.

On a side note, I wanted to do this as well, but I was worrying about
losing the copy of an email if there are network problems during the
sending process. Any issue with that?

Indeed, I think that can happen if the mail could successfully be
transfered to your SMTP server, but the server hosting the IMAP account
you're gcc-ing to is offline.
I think it would be nice if the gcc-self value could also be a list, so
(gcc-self "nnml+Archive:mail-backups" t)
would mean to put outgoing mail into both the local archive group and
into the current group as well. I've tried that out, but it doesn't
seem to be implemented so far.
I'll hack that right now. Shouldn't be too hard to implement, but give
me some time so that I can also update the docs accordingly.

Tassilo

Hi Tassilo,
gcc-self is indeed a great tip, thank you!
As you've become sort of my guru now, I'm asking you further: I'm
having a hard time trying to match my primary method groups by prefix,
as in "imap.*"; the problem is that these groups don't show the method
prefix, only the secondary ones, but I really want to get a similar
behavior for all my primary select method without having to match on a
per group basis. Is that possible?
Regards

Well, this is the best I could come with, considering that emacs
regexps have no negative look-ahead or any fancy stuff:
(setq gnus-parameters
'(("^[^:]+$"
(gcc-self . t)
(gnus-gcc-mark-as-read . t))))
It will work as long as there are no gmail labels including a ':'. If
you know of a better approach, please tell me!

Here's another alternative (similar to the one I posted a couple of days
ago):
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
(lambda (g)
(when (message-mail-p)
(concat "nnimap+gmail:" g))))
If I'm not wrong this is more or less equivalent to:
(setq gnus-parameters
'(("^[^:]+$" (gcc-self . t)
("^[^:]+:.+$" (gcc-self . none)))))
The first one has a more flexible matching mechanism, as it let's you
pass a lambda expression. But it can't set anything besides the
group. It would be nice that gnus-parameters worked more like
gnus-message-archive-groups, allowing one to passed a dotted pair list
but also a function or expression.

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but: I use nnnil as the
primary method, and all the real stuff is secondary methods - nobody
gets put on the primary piedestal.

Well, I don't use a primary select method at all, only secondary ones.
And as far as I know, there's nothing making them less powerful or
second class citizens (well, except that the backend is always shown, it
seems), so you might want to do the same.
;; Make the primary select method a do-nothing one
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil))
;; Only use severeal secondary select methods
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nntp "Gmane"
(nntp-address "news.gmane.org")))
