I've now added it. I just want to mention that for example the IMAP server of my university has more than 200 groups, most of which are "shared folders". Those contain all university-internal newsgroups (don't ask me what that's good for...). So as a new user, I'd be very overwhelmed in getting a *Group* buffer with hundreds of groups containing thousands of unread messages... Maybe one could subscribe to only groups where a user has both read and write permissions? I think that would filter out these shared folders for me... Bye, Tassilo
