You can set it either to some fixed group (like nnimap+Uni:sent-mail), but there's more flexibility. For example, all my sent mails go into the groups where I replied from or started writing in. So my mail conversations look exactly like newsgroup threads (except for mailing lists, where the sent mails go into a the corresponding account's sent-mail folder). > 2) How could I set up a second smtp server? Can I just add a line like > smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.uni.edu" under 2) ? No, that would override the former. You can do so using some the external MSMTP program (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusMSMTP) or directly in Gnus using a small bit of elisp foo. For example, that's what I've used some nix before. http://paste.lisp.org/display/50396 > 3) What's the best way to get notified of new mail?

I simply switch to *Group* from time to time. :-) Bye, Tassilo -- (What the world needs (I think) is not (a Lisp (with fewer parentheses)) but (an English (with more.)))
