28.0.50; gnus-new-mail-mark is applied to too many groups |

Severity: minor
I use mbsync to synchronise three remote IMAP inboxes with three local
Maildirs. I use Dovecot to serve these Maildirs locally over IMAP, each
over a separate connection. For each local IMAP instance, I add to
gnus-secondary-select-methods a new nnimap entry with a name based on
the corresponding Maildir's basename:
$ tree -L 1 ~/Mail
/home/blc/Mail
├── outlook
├── personal
└── tcd
gnus-secondary-select-methods:
((nnimap "tcd" ...)
(nnimap "personal" ...)
(nnimap "outlook" ...)
...)
I use gnus-topic-mode to organise the subscribed groups of each nnimap
into different topics. So when mbsync has fetched new mail, and I
either start Gnus, or type g (gnus-group-get-new-news) in an existing
*Group* buffer, I see something like this:
[ Gnus -- 25888 ]
[ tcd -- 22671 ]
% 13? 0! : tcd:INBOX 13:34
[ personal -- 79 ]
% 14? 0! : personal:INBOX 23:27
[ outlook -- 3 ]
% 3? 0! : outlook:INBOX Thu 11
Notice that gnus-new-mail-mark (the % in the fourth column) is on all
three INBOX groups, even though only personal:INBOX contains new mail.
This happens because of the way gnus-group-new-mail in gnus-group.el
checks whether a given group, such as "nnimap+tcd:INBOX", contains new
mail. It first passes the group name to gnus-group-real-name, which
returns "INBOX", and then passes this result to nnmail-new-mail-p, which
checks for its presence in nnmail-split-history, whose value is
something like:
((("INBOX" . 0))
(("[Gmail].Sent Mail" . 0))
...)
Would it be possible for the variable nnmail-split-history, or the
function gnus-group-new-mail, or both, to be changed so they
store/manipulate only the full group name "nnimap+tcd:INBOX"?
Thanks,

Seems to work fine here, thanks! I'm therefore closing this bug.
