Gnus can't split across backends, so I'm afraid this can't be done. I have a similar setup, and I use procmail to deliver my mail. The simplest setup would be to use a minimal .procmailrc with MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ DEFAULT=.incoming/ so that all new mails land in a folder "incoming". You can then set nnimap-split-inbox to this folder, so that Gnus does its IMAP splitting from there, and you simply don't subscribe it on your smartphone. -David _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
