Without thinking (yep), I deleted these thinking > the groups should be kept on the imap server. I seem to have screwed up my imap groups after all this and lost lots of mail. Can anyone help me with 2 questions: 1 Why is gnus suddenly creating all my imap groups locally, instead of on the server? 2 My old subscriptions on the imap server vanished too. Now, the group parameters seem not to match the 'new' groups that are beginning to appear on the imap server? In particular, I now get the error message below, even when that group is then subscribed. What should I do? nnimap: Group INBOX.Work.dept is not uidvalid. Continue?
