using IMAP for archiving

using IMAP for archiving

[Denys Duchier]

Is it possible to use gnus-message-archive-{group,method} to archive
messages that I send out?  I tried the following, but nothing happened
except that I now have this additional Gcc header automatically
inserted:

(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((concat (if (message-news-p) "news-" "mail-")
		(format-time-string "%b-%Y" (current-time)))))

(setq gnus-message-archive-method
      '(nnimap "archive"
	       (nnimap-address "mail.ps.uni-sb.de")
	       (nnimap-list-pattern ("Mail/archive/*"))
	       (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)
	       (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)))

Denys,

I have this for archiving messages on my nnimap server....

;; archive stuff...
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((concat "nnimap+kraken:mail/sent-items." (format-time-string
			   "%Y-%m" (current-time)))))

Cheers,  Jody

I think you're storing your outgoing messages in a group "news-foo",
but the server in question only knows groups like "Mail/archive/foo".

I'm not sure, though.

You could also set gnus-message-archive-group to "nnimap:foo" which
works just like any other nnimap group (maybe you need
"nnimap+blarfl:foo" if your nnimap group names look like that).
