Sorry, but I left out some key information:

I have the following code in my `.gnus.el' file:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '(
	(nnimap "piximap"
		(nnimap-address "localhost")
		(nnimap-expunge-on-close 'ask)
                (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")
		)
	))

  (setq mail-sources
      '(
        (directory :path   "~/Mail/Groups/"  ;; From a procmail-like thing.
		   :suffix ".in")            ;; It works just fine.

	(imap :server      "localhost"       ;; From imap
	      :user        "userid"
	      :dontexpunge t)
      ))

  ;;; Should this be here, instead?  Doesn't work either way.
  ;;; (setq nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")


Thanks again, in advance.
