Thank you, this is explained enough for me.
BUT
my main problem is not solved with it.
As far as i understand, move a message in gnus into my local folders not
reachable in imap, have to delete this message in gmail All mail?
Am i right?
If not, perhaps i have to use another command, or another split rule, or
anything advanced?
Any idea?
Regards
Poul
