However, one place I am still stuck is manipulating folders on the IMAP server. I can create a folder, but only indirectly, by copying or moving an article to the corresponding Gnus group from the *Summary* or *Article* buffer, using B c and B m. Is there a direct way to create one? I can delete a folder using DEL in the *Gnus Browse Server* buffer. (This appears to fail because it results in a "Wrong type argument: symbolp" error message, and the buffer doesn't refresh itself, but the deletion does actually "take" as one can see by reopening the *Gnus Browse Server* buffer.) I cannot see how to rename a folder. I cannot see how to move a folder (and the folders it "contains") "into" another folder. Can anyone provide any pointers on how to do these operations? Thanks, N.
