I also shifted from nnml to nnimap this week. I had similar problems at
the beginning. As far as I can remember, it worked after I deleted
(renamed) ~/.newsrc and ~/.newsrc.eld. But you have to subscribe to all
groups again and re-create your topics if you do that. But this takes
only a few seconds. Just open the server buffer with "^" enter the
servers (RET) and hit "u" on every relevant group. Your imap-Server MUN
should show all folders extant on the server as groups ready to be
subscribed.
You can create new imap-folders by hitting "G m" in the summary buffer.
Type in a name (e.g. "Important") RET nnimap:MUN RET. Hit "G del" if you
want to delete a folder.
I still don't know how I should configure expiry. I would like to delete
the mail in some folders by hand (in case of folders where I keep
messages that still demand action), while the usual inbox should delete
its contents automatically after some 30 days.
Greetings
Sven
