If your mail server is imap, you'll probably just want to stick with nnimap. You can jump through hoops to extract the mail to local directories, but then you're losing the whole point of imap (syncing). What's the advantage? If accessing a remote server is slow, you can get the best of both worlds by mirroring to an imap server on your own machine, and accessing that through Gnus. That's what I do, and searching is fast enough that nnir thread referral doesn't feel slow. Eric
