how (when) to use (remove-prefix "INBOX.")

how (when) to use (remove-prefix "INBOX.")

[Gijs Hillenius]

Hi!

I would appreciate it if a Gnus user can tell me what happens, if I were
to add

 (remove-prefix "INBOX.")

in the server configuration of my current Gnus?

more specifically

0) Will this change Gnus' Group display

which, for example, now shows:

     6: nnimap+thuis:INBOX.tex-nl
     4: nnimap+thuis:INBOX.thinkpad 

to

     6: nnimap+thuis:tex-nl
     4: nnimap+thuis:thinkpad 

?

Or, do I need to resubscribe to all mailboxes?

1) Will this influence splitting? I use nnimap-split-fancy, and will I
have to rewrite for example this line

  (any ".*@linux-thinkpad.org" "INBOX.thinkpad")

to

  (any ".*@linux-thinkpad.org" "thinkpad") 

?

I also use splitting per bbdb, and will this make me need to remove the
word INBOX from those records?

Is there a `remove-prefix' thing in the Gnus methods?  I can't find
anything about that...
