folder location vs. group name (uwash server whining)




Is there a way to specify the group name (to appear in the
Group buffer and elsewhere) separately from the folder location?



I thought the following 

(setq gnus-select-method 
      '(nnimap "mtl"
	       (nnimap-server-address "mtl.mit.edu")
       	       (nnimap-list-pattern
		("INBOX"  ("/mail/folders/mbm/" . "mail.*")))

	       (nnimap-split-inbox ("INBOX"))
	       (nnimap-list-method "LIST")
	       (nnimap-split-rule
		(("mail.nnimap"     "nnimap@extundo.com")
		...



would split my mail up into files stored on the server in
the /mail/folders/mbm/mail.* directory, and name the groups
mail.*.  Instead, it stores the mail in my home directory,
and requires me to refer to the mailboxes on the server
as /mail/folders/mbm/mail.* in the Group buffer.

I am, probably needless to say, using the uwash server.
If there is some per-user setup that can be done, great,
but I doubt I will be able to use a global recompile
of the server that changes everyone's folder directory,
(even though this directory has been made available).

Thanks.
