I have something like this in my .gnus (defun noorul/move-to-gmail-trash () (interactive) (let ((prefix (funcall gnus-move-group-prefix-function gnus-newsgroup-name))) (let ((trash (concat prefix "[Gmail]/Trash"))) (gnus-summary-move-article nil trash)))) (gnus-define-keys gnus-summary-mode-map "\C-c\C-g" noorul/move-to-gmail-trash) Also lots of gnus imap development is going on now. The latest dev build fetches imap mail faster. But still B m is quiet slow. I hope new work will give gnus a better future. Thanks and Regards Noorul
