First you set gnus-select-method...

Then you set mail-sources...

If you want to use your hipatia.net account as a normal IMAP-account
(the mail lives on the server), you should not set mail-sources.

If you want to use IMAP as a POP-on-stereoids (i.e. download all
messages from the server and store them locally; unlikely), you should
only set mail-sources, not a select-method.

Here you overwrite the value you set gnus-select-method to previously!!

I think this is why you get that string in your From: header.

Hope this helps a little bit.


  Best regards,

    Adam
