It's even too hairy for me to do in pine. It's a snap > in Thunderbird though. Maybe someday.... I have five IMAP(S) accounts. I tested two solutions: 1. nnimap Setup is very simple. Just add five accounts to gnus-second-select-methods. And add auth into to .authinfo. Install STARTTLS or gnutls-cli. I used this solution and found it's too slow for me. So I turned to solution 2. I am very happy with it. 2. offlineimap+nnmaildir Use offlineimap to sync all emails to local machine(s). And add five nnmaildir to gnus-second-select-methods. Much faster. You can have a try. Absolutely not difficult as you may think. FYI, I use Emacs 23 and No Gnus 0.6.
