Latest issue, every time I start up gnus, it forgets the status of every folder on the imap. Instead of listing the number of unread messages, I get an *. Maybe that's not a big deal on it's own, but I am unable to manually move messages to any of these folders. So if I find something in my INBOX that should be moved to another folder, I have to quit the INBOX, move to the destination folder, enter that folder, exit out again, move back to the INBOX, and then move the message manually. I can't 'catch-up' any of the folders until after I've entered them, and as I said above, I have to repeat this whole process the next time I start gnus. This is beyond ridiculous. I'll try again in another year and see if I'm smart enough for gnus then. Here's my complete configuration for gnus, for posterity: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org")) (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "my.server.edu"))) (defun my-gnus-summary-hook () (local-set-key "t" 'gnus-summary-mark-as-processable)) (add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'my-gnus-summary-hook) (add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-topic-mode) (setq gnus-posting-styles '(("*" ; Matches all groups of messages (address "my.email.address") (name "my name")))) (setq nnimap-split-inbox "INBOX") (setq nnimap-split-predicate "UNDELETED")
