nnimap: possible bug with gnus-summary-move-article

nnimap: possible bug with gnus-summary-move-article

[Joseph Gay]

On No Gnus v0.16 --- sha1 04c1fb9

Previously I could move (B-m) a mail from a subscribed nnimap group to a
non-existent IMAP folder, and Gnus prompted me whether to create the
folder. This is a convenient, and I assume desired functionality.

Today, I witnessed a different behavior. Gnus appeared to attempt the
move without first checking for the folder's existence on the server.
See the backtrace below.

I've been having problems too with gnus-summary-move-article since
moving to No Gnus v0.15. 

I've found that using the gnus-move-split-methods mechanism no longer
works: the default group is still correctly printed in the prompt but if
only <cr> is entered, instead of expected behaviour that this default is
used, Gnus must moves the article to the last group previously moved to.

I've only briefly looked at the code, and was rather confused by the use
of gnus-current-move-group variable... Perhaps something is going wrong
here?

Best,
Bojan

I'm unable to reproduce this.  If I move a message to a non-existent
IMAP group, I get the following prompt:

No such group: nnimap+hermes.netfonds.no:test1.  Create it? (y or n)  y

And the group is created.

Well, it's trying to open a server that doesn't exist.

Which comes from here.  A server that's `(quote nil)'?  Very odd.
What's your nnimap setup like?

In gnus-secondary-select-methods, I have:

  (nnimap "gmail"
          (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
          (nnimap-server-port 993)
          (nnimap-stream ssl)
          (nnir-search-engine imap)
          (nnimap-authinfo-file nil))

That portion hasn't changed in quite some time.

Recently I added an expression to gnus-parameters, though I'm not sure
it's relevant here.

  ("nnimap\\+gmail:INBOX"
           (comment . "INBOX:personal"))

For what it's worth, gnus-summary-move-article does work for existing
IMAP folders.

I tried using a similar setup, but was unable to reproduce the bug.
Gnus seems to reliably create the new group...
