Hello!

In gnus-message-archive-method I am using the

gnus-message-archive-group

as per one of the suggestions in the manual, to split between usenet and
email, the latter by year with

(format-time-string "nnimap+myservername:INBOX.sent.%Y")

However, while such a mailbox is automatically created in the new year
when sending the first email, the mailbox is not visible in the *Group*
buffer.

I have to go into the *server* buffer and subscribe the new folder
there.

I have:
(setopt gnus-auto-subscribed-groups "^nnimap")

But I've clearly missed something.
