But how somebody can change from Gnus Xavier> to another one ? :) Well, I find it somewhat logic to use server side splitting with IMAP since it is a server side technology. Since the mail is kept in one place it makes sense to store the splitting logic at the same place. You don't even have to change the MUA to get into problems. Just use GNUS from a different location and you will have a maintenance problem where to store or how to distribute the GNUS splitting rules. Yours -- %% Mats
