See the variable `gnus-move-split-methods.' You can set [Gmail]/All
Mail as the default move target for your Gmail nnimap groups, then when
you mark a bunch of messages and do B m that will be the default choice
for moving.
This looks like a good option. But I am still struggling with the regexp
for groups (maybe because I do not understand the naming of groups?).
So I have my gmail account defined as primary source:
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nnimap "gmail"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.gpg")
(nnmail-expiry-target "[Gmail]/Bin")
(nnmail-expiry-wait 2)))
and I would like to set the default move target for all groups in this
primary source to "[gmail]/All Mail":
(setq gnus-move-split-methods
'(("nnimap.*" "[gmail]/All Mail")))
but it is not working.
I assume it is something wrong with the regexp "nnimap.*" - my reasoning
was: match all groups which start with nnimap.
This regexp also concerns other configuratios which are not working...
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rainer
