| Hm, the function in gnus-move-group-prefix-function does the job of
| inserting the part to complete. Here, if I want to move an article in
| nnmaildir+Fastmail:INBOX.foo, it will use "nnmaildir+Fastmail:" as
| default, which is nearly what you want (the mail/ is missing).
|
| Do you have several nnimap servers, one unnamed, and want to move an
| article from a group of the unnamed server? That would explain the
| behaviour you see.
As far as I know, I have only one:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnml "")
(nnimap "imap.uib.no"
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))
)))
However, I may have screwed up something earlier that leaves traces
somewhere. I have some groups with names like "nnimap:leikny",
created by me in gnus because of the inviting prompt "nnimap:", but I
don't know where they actually reside; I cannot find them on the imap
server if I use other mail clients (or from other computers). Also,
groups created by gnus like "nnimap+imap.uib.no:mail/amm" do not show
up in other mail clients until I also create a corresponding folder in
the other mail client.
Is gnus/nnimap supposed to work in perfect harmony with occasional use
of other imap mail clients? :-)
This reminds me of another source of irritation (or rather, field of
incompetence on my part): I have several old, emptied and killed
(nnml) mail groups that I no longer use. They still show up as
choices under tab completion (when applicable). How do I get rid of
them for good?
