Hi Loris, thank you for your response.

I had missed that there is a FAQ buried in the appendices of the Gnus
Info manual! It contains some quite useful tips that led me directly or
indirectly to most of the solutions to my puzzle. :)

Yes. I had spent quite a bit of time in this part of the manual
previously. I had the IMAP part set up "correctly". What I was missing
(until the last couple of days) was the other parts of the puzzle:
Viewing my inbox and other mail folders / filing read mail / navigating
to filed mail folders.
I now have methods for those mostly sorted out.
The only real inconvenience remaining is that when I configure variables
for Gnus the values are global, and I don't see yet how to restrict
their scope to a particular server or group or retrieval method.

It doesn't seem that RMAIL does what I want at all, and now that I have
things almost working in Gnus, I guess I won't be investigating this
avenue further at this point.

Indeed. It doesn't look like I will need to resort to this. Gnus it
is. :)

Thanks Loris.
