I am setting nnimap-split-methods and, according to the documentation, this should follow the syntax for nnmail-split-methods. All of my specific splits are being obeyed so I seem to have most things set up okay. However, the last entry in my list of splitting methods is: (setq nnimap-split-methods ( ... ("general" "") )) which, from the documentation, leads me to believe that all remaining unsplit messages should end up in an imap mailbox called "general". This doesn't happen: they all remain in the main inbox. Why is this? A second point: if I change the regex to be ".*", *all* my emails end up there regardless of whether they were sent to another group or not. The documentation is unclear about whether a message can be split to different mailboxes if it matches more than one entry in the list of methods. Can somebody clarify for me which view is correct?
