Ah. Yes, I can see that that can create problems.
I use ... err ... correction: the company I work for in my $dayjob ...
uses Gmail. It's not my choice and I'm not a fan in any way, but I
manage to live with it. I only use it as a store-and-forward IMAP
respository. I do _nothing_ in Gmail. I download everything to my Gnus
machine and split the mail into folders there. Gmail knows nothing about
my folders. It just stores my mail until I download it. This may or may
not work for others.
Cheers,
/Liman
