create imap directory

create imap directory

[Antoine Junod]

Hello, World!

Is it possible to create a directory through an imap connection on the
imap server with the help of gnus? (the directories I create from the
webmail associated with the problematic mail account do not seem to be
accessible from gnus. It should be 'strange' directories.)

Thanks for your reply,
-AJ

You can create an IMAP folder, but that may not correspond to an actual
directory on the server (e.g. Cyrus IMAPD doesn't store articles in
directories IIRC).

To create a new folder, just do `G m' from the *Group* buffer and
specify the other parameters Gnus will request.  You need to have write
access on the server, of course.

Beautiful it works fine. Thanks a lot.
