Problem with Gnus moving mail

Problem with Gnus moving mail

[ng0]

Hi,

I seem to be unable to move messages with Gnus.

I made use of a config that used to work a while ago for myself,
and with 'enter group', 'mark message', B-m I get the following
error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Trying to require a method that doesn’t exist")
  signal(error ("Trying to require a method that doesn’t exist"))
  error("Trying to require a method that doesn't exist")
  gnus-get-function((nil "") request-accept-article t)
  gnus-valid-move-group-p(nnml:torproject)
  #[(symbol) "\x7f	!\205	\nB\211\207" [predicate symbol out] 2](nnml:torproject)

I've written more Guile than Elisp so far - how can I get started
debugging what's wrong here? For what it's worth, my version of
Emacs and Gnus is: GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.21)
 of 2017-12-29
 running on Gnu GuixSD.

I can push my most recent Gnus config and include a link if that
helps.

Thanks

Here, I suppose nnml should be extracted as the
"method" for nnml:torproject but that doesn't
happen.

`B m' works for me and my nnml groups, so maybe
something happened when you set up the group?

How about setting up a dummy nnml group and
try again?

Personally i'm using that `B m' at Gmail's re-labeling. It works for
me. My Gnus version is Ma Gnus 0.15 with GNU Emacs 23.3 (Ubuntu 12.04).

I don't know..

Until I have time to do that, I wonder how/if one can re-apply
fancy-split sorting to already sorted mail to trigger a
resorting?
Most of the 300.000+ mails in mail.misc are not yet sorted.

At least with regular splitting you first setup
the rules, then do
`gnus-summary-respool-article' on the
entire group.

With 300 000 mails, perhaps test on a smaller
group first.

Or don't do it :)

Ah, so this is respooling!

The original problem was solved by killing some invalid groups
that were created when I was figuring out why Gnus didn't work
last week.
