It works as foreign server. It works when their are two different
servers. But I have problems with two imap [gnus] servers to the same
machine [imap server]

I made many actions, and I am not sure I isolated the problem.

This is what I have in my .gnus :


(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      `((nnml "")
        (nnimap "free"
                (nnimap-authinfo-file ,(home "\\.authinfo"))
                (nnimap-address "imap.free.fr")
                (nnimap-list-pattern ("*"))
                (nnimap-expunge-on-close always))
        (nnimap "free2"
                (nnimap-authinfo-file ,(home "\\.authinfo2"))
                (nnimap-address "imap.free.fr")
                (nnimap-list-pattern ("*"))
                (nnimap-expunge-on-close always))
        ))

I have two logins for the same server.

When I open one, all the groups of the other are replaced by the first
one. And of course the opposite when I open the second.

In the past, I have used many nntp [gnus] server and nnfolders without
any problem.

I think that nnimap shares information and that it is not possible to
have totally separate connections to the same [imap] server.

I don't know if I am so clear in may explanations.
