Now I am having to move to IMAP (ANU having discontinued POP access), and have today learnt enough about gnus to see my mail therein; and am struggling to regain the functionality I had with RMAIL. I have looked found two threads here which are right on one of my problems: Re: gnus-get-new-news with IMAP doesn't http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnus-english/2005-03/msg00089.html Re: How to get new mail without leaving Summary buffer? http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnus-english/2005-03/msg00200.html but the suggestions there don't work for me (partly because I am using emacs over ssh so I don't control what software is on the host). When I try to get new mail from the IMAP server, using M-g say, I get the error "Ephemeral groups can't be reselected" The host uses Gnus v5.9.0 and GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.9) Has anyone been down this path or can point me out of this?!
