<p>That's it. You should now be able to use the group as any other group.
+<h3><a name="using-acl">Editing ACL's</a></h3>
+
+<p>ACL stands for Access Control Lists and are used for limiting (or enabling) other users access to your mail boxes. Not all server support this, you'll find out if your server does when you try to use this function.
+
+<p>To edit a group's ACL, move the cursor in the Group buffer to a nnimap Group and type G l (<code>gnus-group-edit-nnimap-acl</code>) to have it jump to the ACL editor. The instructions presented in that buffer should get you going.
+
+<p>Some possible uses:
+
+<p><ul>
+ <li>Giving "anyone" the "lrs" rights (lookup, read, keep seen/unseen flags) on your mailing list mailboxes enables other users on the same server to follow the list without subscribing to it.
+ <li>At least with the Cyrus server, you are required to give the user "anyone" posting ("p") capabilities to have "plussing" work (that is, mail sent to user+mailbox@domain ending up in the IMAP mailbox INBOX.mailbox).

<h2><a name="split">Configuring nnimap, splitting</a></h2>
<p>Splitting is something Gnus users has loved and used for years, and now the rest of the world is catching up. Yeah, dream on, not many IMAP server has server side splitting and those that have splitting seem to use some non-standard protocol. This means that IMAP support for Gnus has to do it's own splitting.
