Hi.
Since I'm moving to imap from pop I might as well ditch my old email
client and do one more thing i emacs.
Gnus seems to be the email client of choice in emacs. I've been
looking at my.gnus.org and have reached the point were I can open my
imap mailboxes in gnus and write/send mail.
When I issue gnus-summary-reselect-current-group in the summary buffer
I get "Ephemeral groups can't be reselected".
I understand the difference between ephemeral groups and solid groups
but I don't understand why my nnimap groups default to ephemeral.
emacs version: 21.4a-1ubuntu1
gnus version: 5.10.6-0.CVS.20050610-1
relevant part of .gnus.el
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "m4"
(nnimap-address "mymailserver")
(nnimap-server-port 143)
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/repos/conf/authinfo-mail-m4")
))

They don't. Something's wrong. The only way to read a group
ephemerally is to enter it with C-M-<RET> from the *Group* bufffer,
and I doubt you're doing that. A simple <SPC> or <RET> is the usual
way to read/enter a group.
See (info "(gnus)Selecting a group")

There's nothing wrong with this select-method, at least there's
nothing in it to make your nnimap groups ephemeral.
