The mail splitting would have to be done by the nnml select method (nnml-get-new-mail t), referring to nnml groups without their prefixes, but it could use IMAP as a mail-source. >> Perhaps a directory mail-source handles the other direction. > > I tested directing the nnmail split to nnimap, and that failed as > well (creating a directory under ~/Mail with the "nnimap+..." name). For that, the nnimap select method would have to do the splitting; it would refer to nnimap groups without their prefixes. Doing it both ways in the same configuration would probably require different values for mail-sources during the two splits (possible, or not?), or carefully naming groups the same way on the two servers. paul
