Fancy splitting in Gnus

Fancy splitting in Gnus

[Narendra Joshi]

Hi,

I use the following to do fancy splitting.

,----
| 
| (setq gnus-select-method
|       `(nnimap "gmail"
|                (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
|                (nnir-search-engine imap)
|                (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
|                (nnimap-stream ssl)
|                (nnimap-split-methods ,nnmail-split-fancy)))
| 
| 
`----

I have observed that every time I add a new entry to
`nnmail-split-fancy', it takes time for Gnus to recognize that it has to
split those emails that match the new entry. Or it is something that I
don't recognize which triggers the splitting. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

If you assign a new value to nnmail-split-fancy variable in a running
Emacs session you need to re-evaluate the (setq gnus-select-method ...)
form.

The splitting does happen even after restarting.

IIRC re-evaluating the method is not necessary.  Nevertheless the OP can
check how Gnus will split new mail with ‘B q’ in the summary.  It'll
tell where the article will go, but not actually move it (use ‘B r’ for
that.

Thanks,

B q helped. The problem was with my configuration. I had a filter  on
the wrong header.

Glad it helped, you're welcome!  A little suggestion if you won't mind:
if you have the menu-bar-mode turned off, you should turn it on at least
for Gnus, it's a very nice tool to quickly discover many features that
you would spend lots of time searching for in the manual / on the net.
