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?
