It is supposed to work, I think, but splitting with IMAP is a little different to splitting without. Did you read the docs? For example, there is `nnimap-split-inbox' A string or a list of strings that gives the name(s) of IMAP mailboxes to split from. Defaults to `nil', which means that splitting is disabled! (setq nnimap-split-inbox '("INBOX" ("~/friend/Mail" . "lists/*") "lists.imap")) No nnmail equivalent. Note that last remark. I'm afraid I don't use this facility, so aside from this slightly trivial response I can't help you. :) > The other problem I'm having seems much more ordinary, though.

Gnus gives you all the opportunity you could possibly want for shooting yourself in the foot. Let's say you create a group that will contain all the mail you get from your boss. And then you accidentally unsubscribe from the group. Gnus will still put all the mail from your boss in the unsubscribed group, and so, when your boss mails you "Have that report ready by Monday or you're fired!", you'll never see it and, come Tuesday, you'll still believe that you're gainfully employed while you really should be out collecting empty bottles to save up for next month's rent money.
