Well, you said in your original posting: >Gnus is logging into my server OK, and I can get my mail via the >server buffer, but there are no mail groups I can subscribe to. I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean with "I can get my mail via the server buffer" if you do not see any groups there. >> on the IMAP server; your administrator should be able to help you >> there.

Maybe the IMAP server indeed exports your full home directory. This can take a while, depending on number of files in there. You can put (setq imap-log t) into your .gnus to enable IMAP logging in a buffer named "*imap log*". You should be able to see there what's going on when you omit the nnimap-list-pattern variable (just hit C-g after a while and switch to "*imap log*"). If your mailboxes are stored in your home directory (this depends on the IMAP server), you have to tell Gnus through nnimap-list-pattern where these mailboxes are. Usually, this is a subdirectory like "~/Mail/*" or something similar. But again, this all depends on the IMAP server. -David
