Maybe Gnus manual should have a section on common setups.  I have a
simple setup with 2 accounts in which I fetch all mail locally, and
don't use search (but rather try to keep mailbox - both remote and local
- clean).

To get that, I'm tweaking a handful of variables - namely
message-alternative-emails, gnus-posting-styles, gnus-select-method,
gnus-secondary-select-methods, mail-sources,
message-dont-reply-to-names, nnmail-split-methods.  It's not complex,
but I had to extract information piece by piece from different parts of
the manual.  And sending via different smtp servers is non-obvious, with
custom header "X-Message-SMTP-Method".
