I followed the this thread via the web archives, and had some
follow-up comments/questions.

I'm just trying to switch Gnus to use Lotus Domino as an IMAP server
(please no flames about Domino, I don't have a choice here.)
Currently I'm happily using Gnus as an IMAP client to a Courier IMAP
server.

Turns out Domino uses a '\' character as it's hierarchy separator
(different from '/' or '.' used by other servers I've seen.)

If I tell Gnus to create folders with the '\' character it works fine,
however as new folders are created, I don't see them when i do a 'B'
(gnus-group-browse-foreign-server).  I can see them in the folder
listing of other clients (like Mozilla) though.  If I do a 'j'
(gnus-group-jump-to-group) and type the full group name (for example
nnimap+mailserver:foo\bar) I can get to it just fine.

So, I have a couple of questions

1) How can the browse-foreign server pick up these folders and
   subfolders?

2) Is there a way Gnus can be smarter about creating subfolders based
   on some existing hierarchy information?

Thanks
