I gather this comes with emacs v22 (and not in v21)? As I said >I am using emacs over ssh so I don't control what software is on the host As the current stable release of emacs is 21.4 (true?), and the site doesn't like to instal beta software, I'm looking for a solution with Gnus v5.9.0 and Emacs 21.4.1. OK, maybe I have to try convincing the admin of the university machine to install Gnus 5.10.... Reiner Steib: >How did you subscribe to the IMAP group? >gnus-secondary-select-methods? Yes, like this in my .gnus file: >(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods > '( > ;; IMAP server > (nnimap "IMAP" (nnimap-address "") > (nnimap-user ""))) > (nnimap-need-unselect-to-notice-new-mail t)) > It shouldn't not be an ephemeral group. That's what I expected, that it should be solid. Maybe I have done (or not done) something simple, in my ignorance. David
