Hello I usually have the following setting. (setq nnimap-split-rule 'nnimap-split-fancy nnimap-split-inbox "INBOX" nnimap-split-fancy `(| ;macro ,@(bbdb-nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb) ("Content-type" "application/msword" "DOC"))) However this seems only to work when I start gnus and the message in the INBOX are unread. How can I run this splitting on the INBOX for all messages even read ones? (Thunderbird has such a feature and I have to use it regularly). thanks Uwe Brauer
