gnus-summary-move-article between different nnimap backends removes arbitrary articles

[Herbert Valerio Riedel]

Hi,

As a follow-up to the report I posted to gnu.emacs.gnus[1], I could now
confirm that when using gnus-summary-move-article for moving articles
between different imap servers the expunge command was being sent to the
article-move-destination server, which is rather unfortunate...

I modified `nnimap-log-command` to print the `nnimap-address`, and the
following shows the operation of moving an article (UID=22639) from
origin.server.org's INBOX to destination.server.org's INBOX.test (edited
names), in the following log one can clearly see that the `EXPUNGE`
command is sent to the wrong server:

| 12:05:34 [origin.server.org] 869 SELECT "INBOX"
| 12:05:34 [origin.server.org] 870 UID FETCH 22549:22558,22560:22577,22579,22581:22600,22602:22606,22608:22617,22619:22623,22625:22654 (UID RFC822.SIZE BODYSTRUCTURE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Subject From Date Message-Id References In-Reply-To Xref To Newsgroups Cc)])
| 12:07:13 [origin.server.org] 871 UID STORE 22639 FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen)
| 12:07:14 [origin.server.org] 872 UID FETCH 22639 BODY.PEEK[]
| 12:07:14 [destination.server.org] 873 APPEND "INBOX.test" {3424}
| 12:07:14 [destination.server.org] 874 UID STORE 22639 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Deleted)
| 12:07:14 [destination.server.org] 875 UID EXPUNGE 22639
| 12:07:14 [destination.server.org] 876 SELECT "INBOX.test"
| 12:07:14 [destination.server.org] 877 UID STORE 473 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen)
| 12:07:14 [destination.server.org] 878 SELECT "INBOX.test"
| 12:07:14 [destination.server.org] 879 UID FETCH 1:* FLAGS

Alas, I'm not proficient enough with the Gnus code-base to fix this bug
myself... so I was hoping for someone to either fix this bug or give me
directions on how to go about fixing the bug...

That's a good idea.  I've now added it to No Gnus.

Oops.

I've now fixed this, I think.  The log I get when moving from hermes to
gmail now is:

08:25:05 [hermes.netfonds.no] 382 UID FETCH 9671 BODY.PEEK[].
08:25:11 [hermes.netfonds.no] 383 UID STORE 9671 FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen).
08:25:11 [hermes.netfonds.no] 384 UID FETCH 9671 BODY.PEEK[].
08:25:11 [imap.gmail.com] 385 APPEND "Travel" {12314}.
08:25:12 [hermes.netfonds.no] 386 UID STORE 9671 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Deleted).
08:25:12 [hermes.netfonds.no] 387 UID EXPUNGE 9671.
08:25:12 [imap.gmail.com] 388 UID STORE 10 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen).
08:25:13 [imap.gmail.com] 389 SELECT "Travel".
08:25:13 [imap.gmail.com] 390 UID FETCH 1:* FLAGS.
