Hi all--
At one point recently Ted sent a working example of using fancy
splitting with the new nnimap, "for future generations" [1]. This ended
up leading to some changes that gave us at least two new ways to use
fancy splitting. We now have the possibility of defining
nnimap-split-methods-fancy [2] (not mentioned in the info documentation,
but `nnimap-split-fancy' is? [3]) or giving a fancy split specification
directly to nnimap-split-methods [4].
I've tried to get splitting working using several variations of these
variables, but have had no luck. Rather than me reporting each of my
boneheaded attempts, would someone be willing to post a working fancy
split example of the sort
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnimap "dc"
(nnimap-address "localhost")
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
;; please tell me what to do next!))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
While it's true that there are some examples of fancy splitting in the
documentation [5], most of the nnimap ones say to see the documentation
for nnmail, and none of the examples show how to specify fancy splitting
in a way that will apply to only one server -- there are lots of
examples of splitting rules, but none of them tell me how to set one and
only one select method to use those rules.
Sorry if there are obvious parts of the documentation that I have
missed!
Thanks for any help!

Or just setting nnmail-split-methods.

How would it look if it used fancy splitting?

(nnimap-split-methods '(| (fancy-split blah blah)))
The manual has several fancy split examples, I think.

OK, then I might not be quite the dunce I thought I was. Hopefully this
is a legitimate bug report.
With the following configuration:

The config and backtrace have been sort of anonymized, so they might not
match up correctly. To me it looks like the problem isn't with my
specific rules, and so the anonymization shouldn't hurt debugging
efforts. If anyone needs to see the exact splitting rules, I'd be happy
to send them offlist.
This is with a git version of gnus checked out at revision
cf281aa36ffcb574b3a838074398baabea0fbdaf.
Thanks,

That quote is wrong. The whole '(nnimap ...) method is already quoted.

But split handling has dramatically changed? I ask because my splitting
doesnt work anymore and, to be honest, (as the posts about splitting
indicate) splitting is really tricky to get your head around.

I find that it got a little easier.
for Gnus 5.13 and earliers I had this, with 'thuis' being the name for
the Imap server.

The etc is causing me hassle.
If I set it to "INBOX" (which is the imap default) ALL
my INBOX seems to be processed each time I refresh or start gnus.
e.g
(setq nnmail-split-fancy '((: spam-split)"INBOX"))
Is it more normal to move all mail from INBOX to another? Since I'm
syncing with gmail using offlineimap I really want to leave my read
email in the INBOX to cut down on transfers.
If anyone has an imap split working with nognus and using spam-split I
would love to see the setup. When I dont include the INBOX then on one
run all my email was moved into a "bogus" folder.
I've had to turn all splitting off for now until I can see a working
example using spam-split. (I use spam-split since I use the bogofilter
processing).
