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")
