Subject: Cannot split to IMAP folders
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 15:31:07 -0500

I am running a local dovecot instance to serve IMAP to gnus.  I have set
up splitting rules which `B q` shows work correctly:

  This message would go to home/school

However, `B r` results in:

  nnimap-request-accept-article: Writing to process: Bad file descriptor, *nnimap*

Dovecot shows this in the log:

I'm not sure where "mail.misc" is coming from.

I am successfully able to move messages (`B m`) to other folders.

  Moving to home/school: (1933)...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Any ideas of what to try or additional information I can provide to aid debugging?

I’d really like to use gnus but this is preventing that.

Maybe set `nnimap-log-command' to t, and also `nnmail-split-tracing' --
once you try splitting that should give you two buffers, "*imap-log" and
"*Split-Trace*", that might contain some more useful hints.

"mail.misc" is the default group to put split mail into, when none of
the user's split definitions match.

That was 6 weeks ago.

Did you find out anything more?

I did this:

  ;; Turn on debugging
  (setq imap-log t)
  (setq nnimap-log-command t)
  (setq nnmail-split-tracing t)

But after a 'B r' I see no *imap-log* or *Split-Trace* buffers.

That should be

(setq nnmail-debug-splitting t)

mail.misc is suspicious because B q says the message should go to a
different folder, on that exists.  There is no mail.misc IMAP folder so
maybe that's why I'm having trouble.

I still don't see a *Split-Trace* buffer.

Hm.  Odd.

Your IMAP log didn't really look much like a typical splitting session
at all -- was this after tapping `g' in the group buffer?

I typed B r with the point on the article in the Summary buffer and
selected nnimap as the split method.

Is there some other way I should test it?

Sorry, I forgot that we were talking about respooling, not splitting --
there's no split-trace buffer when doing respooling.

Anyway, this was the bug:

Do you have any idea where mail.misc may be coming from?

I didn't know there was a distinction.  Is there a way to manually
"split" a message like with respooling?

I don't.  The only instance of that string that I found in my config is
in a commented line.

I just noticed:

(defvar gnus-group-split-default-catch-all-group "mail.misc"
  "Group name (or arbitrary fancy split) with default splitting rules.
Used by `gnus-group-split' and `gnus-group-split-update' as a fallback
split, in case none of the group-based splits matches.")

Hm, no, it's not used by these commands, 

Then there's:

(defcustom nnmail-split-fancy "mail.misc"
  "Incoming mail can be split according to this fancy variable.

But you had a different value here?

That is only used by fancy splitting, ie if nnmail-split-methods is set
to 'nnmail-split-fancy.

Which commands?

No, I didn't set nnmail-split-fancy, but I did set nnimap-split-fancy
and also nnimap-split-methods = nnimap-split-fancy.

I set them via gnu-select-method:

  (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "Local"
                                    (nnimap-address "localhost")

                                    (nnimap-stream network)
                                    (nnimap-inbox '("work/INBOX" "home/INBOX" "gmail/INBOX"))
                                    (nnimap-split-fancy
                                     (|
                                      ("Subject:" "Nightly.*test results" "work/testing")

Ah, that's where it's coming from.  `B q' is this:

(defun gnus-summary-respool-query (&optional silent trace)

[...]

		 ;; nnimap has its own splitting variables.
		 (let ((nnmail-split-methods
			(cond
			 ((eq nnimap-split-methods 'default)
			  nnmail-split-methods)
			 (nnimap-split-methods
			  nnimap-split-methods)
			 (nnimap-split-fancy
			  'nnmail-split-fancy)))
		       (nnmail-split-fancy (or nnimap-split-fancy
					       nnmail-split-fancy)))


So I'm guessing your fallback nil means that the machinery is falling
back on the fallback group "mail.misc" for fancy mail splitting...
Hm...  but that should be shadowed here.  But I think we're on the trail
of the bug now.

That still doesn't explain why "B q" reports the correct group but "B r"
goes to mail.misc.  Do they not use the same selection logic?

Also, since I am apparently not "splitting" using those commands, how
would I actually test splitting?

They should, so that sounds like the bug.

Hitting `g' in the group buffer should split the email (unless you've
disabled INBOX splitting).
