The new nnimap is still pretty slow on my machine, so I may look into setting up a local imap server. >> No kidding. Two steps forward, three steps back.

Setting up Gnus for a few imap accounts is pretty easy: Yes, getting the actual IMAP set up was easy enough. I assumed that was under control and proceeded to investigate splitting, which remains a mystery. At one point I got the idea that maybe splitting only works for the primary server, so I tried switching the nnimap server from the secondary select method to the main select method, moving nntp to the secondary select method. In the process, gnus lost most of my IMAP folders. They're still there, but remained invisible (not killed or zombified) until I updated emacs to the latest bzr version this morning. > When that's done, then you might want to configure some posting styles > and parameters: > > (info "(gnus)Posting Styles") I have a single posting style set up, so that my outgoing messages get associated with my main email, not gmail. > (info "(gnus)Group Parameters") Will look into this. > Basically, that's all to get a fully functional Gnus for reading mail. I suppose, but the payoff is supposed to be something that does everything Thunderbird does and more, and my 'fully functional' system doesn't yet have the filtering/splitting capacity that Thunderbird comes with. I'll stick with it, because I like using Emacs generally. But I couldn't recommend this to anyone who wasn't already an Emacs junky. Cheers, Tyler
