No, `(nnimap "mymailserver")' is quite OK. (But it does result in long group names, so people might prefer `(nnimap "" (nnimap-address "mymailserver"))' anyway.) > Also, I think the result of `G e' should be "nnimap:foo" (with the > quotes but without any parens!) rather than (nnimap "foo" > (nnimap-address "blarfl")) (with parens and all). Either should work (the first is preferable though), the only thing to be aware of if it's `(nnimap "foo")' and your server really is `(nnimap "foo" (lotsaparams)'. Gnus would then create a temporary server which lead to performance problems. > Recent versions of nnimap should do this automatically -- if you find > a way to subscribe a group where this doesn't work, tell Simon about > it. But maybe the "nnimap:foo" syntax is only used for secondary > servers rather than for foreign servers? Hm. Simon? Right. If the group is on the primary server it just says "native".
