New IMAP user with some Q's

[dave-mlist@bfnet.com]

I have appended my .gnus below.
I want to do IMAP splitting, but I'm running into the following
problems:

1.  it is really really slow!
2.  splitting is working, I've confirmed this on the server, but I
    don't see new groups in *Group* buffer.

More details about #2:

Here's what I see on my courier-IMAP server:

  drwx------    2 courier  mail         4096 Jan 15 02:31 tmp/
  -rw-r--r--    1 courier  courier       287 Jan 15 01:57 courierimapuiddb
  drwx------    2 courier  mail         4096 Jan 15 01:57 cur/
  drwx------    5 courier  courier      4096 Jan 15 01:57 .test.25/
  drwx------    5 courier  courier      4096 Jan 15 01:57 .private/
  drwx------    2 courier  mail         4096 Jan 15 01:56 new/
  drwx------    5 courier  courier      4096 Jan 15 01:56 .Trash/
  -rw-r--r--    1 courier  courier        18 Jan  6 01:03 courierimapsubscribed

That's the splitting I expected: The top level is a Maildir
representing INBOX.  ".test.25" is a Maildir representing
"INBOX.test.25", Et cetera.

But I see a totally blank *Group* buffer.  Even when I type the "^"
key to go into server mode, when I browse to my IMAP server session, I
only see the "INBOX" and the "INBOX.Trash" folders.

Any suggestions?  My .gnus is appended

Thanks,
Dave
