newbie splitting mail question

[Tyler Smith]

Hi,

I've just got gnus configured to read my mail via IMAP. Looks good, but
I'm having trouble figuring out the syntax for splitting mail. Nothing
gets split now, and when I run B q on any email, the message returned
indicates it would be refiled to mail.misc, which doesn't exist as far
as I can tell. I've pasted all of my gnus config details below. Can
anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Tyler

I'm struggling with the same issue, trying to debug with B t instead of
B q. Anyway, B t "calls" B q, but the latter makes an explicit call to
nnmail-article-group, so I'm starting to doubt if it can also be used
with nnimap.

I would be interested in this too. My imap splitting doesnt work with
spam-split anymore. Unfortunately I haven't seen a working version
posted ;(

Did you try using, and excuse my poor elisp/gnus terminology, all
"globals" instead of passing them to gnus-select-method? The manual
isn't very clear about whats best or the differences.

I started using the global version, gnus-split-methods, with the same
non-result.
