Currently, when ever I want to refert to a server mailbox name (e.g., to move from my main inbox to some other) I have to use something like: nnimap+pectopah:INBOX.list.ding Gnus defaults the part up to the colon, which is usally good, but I have to type that INBOX. thing every time. Is there a way to tell Gnus to find out the namespace from the server and use this as a prefix so I don't have to? http://www.lysator.liu.se/~forsberg/docs/Gnus_and_Courier.xml has some code which hides this display from the user, but IMHO that's not the right thing -- gnus can figure out the prefix from the server. Gnus *info* mentions "A note on namespaces" about mutant UoW IMAP server behavior but doesn't say anything about setting one manually or automatically. Does Gnus have a way to determine this from the server? Have it configured manually? use it when referring to mailbox names, for retrieval, creation, moving, etc?

It is not clear this is always the best default (some people move mail from private folders to shared folders), but I agree it would be nice to offer this as a feature. You do know about tab completion, right? 'I<TAB>' is sufficient for me. Further, the next time you have to enter the mailbox, there is command line history, so you can retrieve the earlier value, and edit it -- for example, I often do <UP><M-backspace> and write a new mailbox name, then the INBOX prefix comes from an earlier value prompt. > Does Gnus have a way to determine this from the server?

I have installed the following, at least it will allow you to hook in your own function that return the default prefix used. 2004-02-27 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com> * gnus-sum.el (gnus-move-group-prefix-function): Add, default to gnus-group-real-prefix.

Right now I do this in order to have working splitting: (setq nnimap-split-rule '( ("lifelogs" ("INBOX" nnimap-split-fancy)) ; UW IMAP ("sysblade0" ("INBOX" nnimap-courier-split-fancy))) ; Courier nnimap-courier-split-fancy '(| ; ... omitted ...

(: spam-split 'spam-use-blackholes) ;; default mailbox "INBOX.mail") nnimap-split-inbox "INBOX" nnimap-split-fancy '(| ; ... omitted ... (: gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent) (: spam-split 'spam-use-regex-headers) ; ... omitted ... (: spam-split) ;; default mailbox "mail") ) (defun nnimap-courier-split-fancy () (let ((nnimap-split-fancy nnimap-courier-split-fancy) (spam-split-group "INBOX.spam")) (nnimap-split-fancy))) Note I set the spam-split-group also, because it's "spam" by default. With the namespace prefix this would be simpler. I would still have separate split rules because the servers have different purposes, but I wouldn't have to set the spam-split-group explicitly, and I wouldn't have different mailbox names everywhere. That being said, I think the Courier model of having a namespace prefix for private vs. shared vs. public groups is very clean, and I like it very much.
