It is stored in the gnus-server-alist variable and saved in the .newsrc.eld file. > OK, fine, be that way, I > thought. I'll just quit Gnus and edit .newsrc.eld by hand.

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. -- Katsumi Yamaoka
