Any comment on this one from the more knowledgeable among us?  I
posted the same question on the ding list many moons ago
(<m3g01aggme.fsf@fermat.mts.jhu.edu>) and I see that someone else did
too (<m3n0y118jv.fsf@neo.loria>) but no followups yet.

Try setting `imap-log' and send the output from *imap-log* after doing
this.

No.  Move the article you want to respool to the nnimap-split-inbox
and mark it unread and press g in the group buffer.
