Hello, Currently Gnus uses a combination of COPY, STORE + EXPUNGE to move messages from one imap group into another. The attached patch enables the use of the MOVE command instead if the server supports it. Thanks for considering. (Is this the right place to post patches, or should it go to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org?)
