[NNIMAP]: How to effectively delete an IMAP folder ?

[Xavier Maillard]

Hello,

This may be a FAQ but I can't find a good answer.

How can I delete a group on my IMAP server in Gnus (No Gnus
v0.3) ?

I would have think that C-k/G DEL on a `nnimap' group would have
do it for me automatically but it didn't and I still see the
folder on my IMAP folder.

Any hint on that ?

Regards

C-u G DEL

C-k or C-u G DEL only remove it from Gnus, not on the server.

I'm somewhat annoyed at this.  IMHO, pressing DEL on a group should be
sufficient; you should get a "Are you sure (yes/no)" question, but
that should be it.

         ^^^

Remove that, I meant G DEL only, of course.

It should be noted that making that happen would be a backwards
incompatible change, though.
