Re: Foreign server info?

Well, I'm not familiar with nnimap, so I might be unable to help
you.  Here's only a generic information.

If you create a new server by copying of it using the `c'
command, you will be able to edit it.  It is stored in the
gnus-server-alist variable and saved in the .newsrc.eld file.

The server made using the B command in the Group buffer is
stored in gnus-opened-servers, but not in gnus-server-alist.
Only gnus-server-alist is stored in the .newsrc.eld file.  Even
so, the "nnimap+server:group" entry in gnus-newsrc-alist should
have the server information.  However, if you kill the group,
the server information will be lost eternally.

Otherwise, you can also specify a foreign server in the
gnus-secondary-select-methods variable (see the IMAP section in
the Gnus info manual).  You can edit it as you like, although it
cannot be edited in the Server buffer.
