IMAP mail splitting problem

IMAP mail splitting problem

[Kai Kaminski]

Hi,

I'm using Gnus v5.11/Emacs 22.1.50.1  to read mail (via nnimap) and
news. Everything works fine, except mail splitting. I'm subscribed to
several mailing lists, which can be recognized by looking for [foo] in
the subject line. I have the following in my .gnus:

(setq nnimap-split-crosspost nil)
(setq nnimap-split-inbox '("INBOX"))
(setq nnimap-split-predicate "UNSEEN UNDELETED")

(setq nnimap-split-rule 'nnimap-split-fancy)
(setq nnimap-split-fancy
      '(| (subject "\\[Haskell\\]" "Haskell")
	  (subject "\\[Haskell-cafe\\]" "Haskell-cafe")
	  (subject "\\[slime-devel\\]" "slime-devel")
	  ("List-Id" "yhc\\.haskell\\.org" "yhc")
	  "misc"))

Interestingly the 'yhc' entry seems to work, but all other mails are
always put into mail.misc. While trying to figure out where that
'mail.'-prefix came from, I discovered that nnmail-split-fancy's value
is "mail.misc". This is odd, since I didn't set that value. In fact,
there is not a single reference to nnmail-anything in my configuration
files. I tried replacing nnimap- by nnmail- in the code above, but
that didn't help either. I also tried variations of "Subject",
"subject" etc, to no avail.

Using non-fancy mail-splitting didn't seem to work either, as in

(setq nnimap-split-rule
      '(("Haskell" "Subject:.*\\[Haskell\\]")
	("Haskell-cafe" "Subject:.*\\[Haskell-cafe\\]")
	("misc" "")))

I solved my similar problem (with nnmail) using any instead of fancy
subject or from...

Thanks for the tip, but it still doesn't work. The worst thing is that
the "List-Id" clause seems to work perfectly.

Cheers,

Have you tried

(setq nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words t)

No, I hadn't. I've tried it now but it doesn't work either.

Thanks anyway,

Umm, see my config, it works ok, however sometimes I have to use
wildcards in the rules for it to work.

(setq nnimap-split-rule '(("babel" ("INBOX" nnimap-split-fancy)))
      nnimap-split-fancy
      '(| ("subject" ".*\\[\\*SPAM\\*\\].*"              "spam.fi")
          ("subject" ".*\\[\\*INFECATADO\\*\\].*"        "spam.fi")
          ("subject" ".*\\[\\*ADJUNTO PROHIBIDO\\*\\].*" "spam.fi")
          ("X-Spam-Flag" "YES"                           "spam.fi")
          (any       ".*clp@comp.nus.edu.sg.*" "listas/clp")
          ("INBOX")))


In this rule
(setq nnimap-split-rule '(("babel" ("INBOX" nnimap-split-fancy)))

babel means the secondary select method, as in

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnimap "babel"
      ....

Thanks a lot for your patience, Emilio. Unfortunately that didn't help
either. I have no idea what to try next. Maybe I'll try to make the
Gnus functions emit some debug info.

Cheers,
Kai

What happens if you change the above to:

(setq nnimap-split-fancy
     '(|
       (subject ".*\\[Haskell\\].*" "Haskell")
       (subject ".*\\[Haskell-cafe\\].*" "Haskell-cafe")
       (subject ".*\\[slime-devel\\].*" "slime-devel")
       ("List-Id" "yhc\\.haskell\\.org" "yhc")
       ("misc")))

i.e: Adding a wildcard to every subject line.

Don't forget to hit 'r' to reload the config file.
