And out of sudden the "nnmaildir+Fastmail:INBOX.Sent Mail" group is there and seems to work without problems. Only "INBOX.Junk Mail" is missing. If I say `U' in *Group* I can tab-complete the group name, but after the RET Gnus says "gnus-group-unsubscribe-group: No such newsgroup: nnmaildir+Fastmail:INBOX.Junk Mail". Bye, Tassilo
