Specifically, nnimap requires the user to specify the folder name *as it's implemented* on the IMAP server, rather than as a more abstract path. As an example, where I once had nnimap+speakeasy:mailing-lists/gnus-ding my ISP changed servers and I had to manually move that to nnimap+speakeasy:INBOX.mailing-lists.gnus-ding while MS Outlook just figured out the change without trouble. (Sorry to hold Outlook up in a positive light.) Today I stumbled upon RFC2342=B9 - IMAP4 Namespace - that looks like it addresses this exact problem. Has anyone taken a look at this to see how hard it would be to add support to nnimap? Footnotes:=20 =B9 http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2342.txt --=20 Steven E.
