This had no effect for me.  However, here

  https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusFormatting

it implies that you have to define

  gnus-user-format-function-g

and then use 'ug%' rather than '%g' in 'gnus-group-line-format'.

Fiddling around with this I managed to totally bork the display in the
Groups buffer, such that basically nothing was shown and the following
error was produced:

  progn: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p

Just reverting the changes in init.el was not enough and I had to roll
back to the versions of .newsrc and .newsrc.eld from this morning
(Thanks, Git!).

Cheers,

Loris

You're pretty much right. Will you allow me to blame an attack of
sciatica for posting incomplete code? (Okay, it was worth at try.)

Here's my whole setup:

(setq gnus-group-line-format "%M%S%5y: %uM %D\n")

(defun gnus-user-format-function-M (arg)
  (let ((mapped-name (assoc gnus-tmp-group group-name-map)))
    (if (null mapped-name)
        gnus-tmp-group
      (cdr mapped-name))))

(setq group-name-map '(("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:INBOX" . "Inbox")
                       ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:[Gmail]/All Mail" . "All Mail")
                       ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:[Gmail]/Sent Mail" . "Sent Mail")
                       ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:[Gmail]/Drafts" . "Drafts")
                       ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:teatrader" . "Tea Trader")
                       ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:gnusreader" . "GNUS Lists")
                       ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:help-gnu-emacs" .
"Emacs Help List")
                       ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:orgmode" . "Org-Mode List")
                       ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:emms-help" . "EMMS List")
                       ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:bbdb" . "BBDB List")
                       ("nnimap+aol:INBOX" . "AOL")
                       ("nnml:mail.misc" . "POP Mail")
                       ))

Re: how to make Group not show "nnimap+$server:INBOX.$mailbox", just $mailbox"

[Rud1ger Sch1erz]

I settled down to a group buffer like this:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Group Buffer ;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Gruppen sollen hierarchisch sortiert werden können (topic-mode)
(add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-topic-mode)

; Formatierung der group-line
; zunächst soll sich Gnus merken, wann eine Gruppe zuletzt besucht
; wurde
(add-hook 'gnus-select-group-hook 'gnus-group-set-timestamp)
; jetzt die eigentliche group-line
;; (setq gnus-group-line-format
;;       "%M\%S\%p\%P\%5y: %(%-40,40g%) %d\n")
(setq gnus-group-line-format
      "%M\%S\%p\%P\%5y: %(%-40,40G%) %ud\n")
; und die Zeitausgabe formitieren
(defun gnus-user-format-function-d (headers)
  (let ((time (gnus-group-timestamp gnus-tmp-group)))
    (if time
	(format-time-string "%b %d  %H:%M" time)
;	(format-time-string "%d  %H:%M" time)
      "")))

Like this:

(setq group-name-map
   '(("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:INBOX" . "Inbox")
    ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:[Gmail]/All Mail" . "All Mail")
 etc.
 ))

how to make Group not show "nnimap+$server:INBOX.$mailbox", just $mailbox"

[Gijs Hillenius]

I once read somewhere in the Gnus documentation that there was a trick,
that would allow as user to hide

"nnimap+$server:INBOX.$mailbox"

and only list
$mailbox

in, for example, the Group buffer.


I'd like to try that, but now I don't see how.

Hints appreciated
