Great, I had success for this, I followed your guide: https://ericabrahamsen.net/tech/2014/oct/gnus-dovecot-lucene.html But I used this in my .gnus file: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "OPENMAILBOX" (nnimap-stream network) (nnimap-address "localhost") (nnimap-authenticator login) (nnimap-user "timisch@openmailbox.org"))) > I use msmtp to send mails, and .. > there is a msmtp-queue package that will let send emails from > Gnus, but queue them up until there's an internet connection to .. > send them.
