nnimap groups still ephemeral

nnimap groups still ephemeral

[Alex Polite]

Hi there.

I'm having problems getting nnimap to work satisfactorily.


I can successfully connect to the imap server, list servers, select a
server and select a group (INBOX).

But when I try to gnus-summary-reselect-current-group from the summary
buffer I get the message "Ephemeral groups can't be reselected".

Looking at *nnimap-debug* there is no mention of ephemeral before the
point where I select the group.




     > ======================================================================
     > 1 -> nnimap-server-opened: server="polite" 1 <-
     > nnimap-server-opened: (open run)
     > ======================================================================

This is where I select the INBOX group.

     > 1 -> nnimap-server-opened: server="polite-ephemeral" 1 <-
     > nnimap-server-opened: nil
     > ======================================================================

A full copy  of my nnimap-debug buffer is available here:
http://open.oivvio.ath.cx/nnimap-debug

I start emacs like so:

emacs -nw -q -l /tmp/mini.el -e gnus

Where /tmp/mini.el contains:

(setq nnimap-debug "*nnimap-debug*")
(setq imap-log t)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "aserver"
                                	(nnimap-authinfo-file "path/to/authfile")
               			      (nnimap-address "my.mail.server")
				      )))

I've tried multiple versions of gnus, emacs and OS:s. All with the
same result.


What's the next thing to experiment with?
