Since I use procmail my INBOX is always pre-drained. So, instead I use: ("myserv:.*" (gcc-self . t)) where "myserv" is the name given to nnimap when setting gnus-secondary-select-methods. With this, when I send mail while inside any group it will keep a copy in that group and preserve threading. The other tip I found (I think in the emacs wiki) was to avoid needing an IMAP server to do IMAP: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '( (nnimap "myserv" (nnimap-stream shell) ... ) Then in your .emacs (and not .gnus) set: ; adjust as appropriate (setq imap-shell-program '("MAIL=3Dmaildir:$HOME/Maildir /usr/lib/dovecot/i= map")) With this, gnus will execute IMAP directly. It avoids needing to provide authentication credentials and you don't need an IMAP server listening on a port. -Brett.
