I didn't adopt it for one main reason: though it supports disconnected IMAP (I spend a lot of time on my computer out of Internet range), it doesn't allow me to move messages between IMAP folders during disconnected operation. I am presuming the way this would be done is to queue up move commands and execute them once IMAP is reconnected (this is how it is done in Wanderlust, an emacs-IMAP mailer). (I read email in the following way: most stuff comes into my inbox, I read it, I answer it, I file it into a folder. Thus such a capability is useful to me. I am totally willing to hear about a more Gnus-y way to handle this, but I don't think "auto-filter every message that comes in into its destination" is ideal for me, since I get lots of mail that would be hard to categorize like that.) Has there been any progress in the last few years toward supporting this capability? The FAQ still says no, but perhaps it is reflecting a released version and newer versions have added this capability. Thanks! JDO
