I haven't found a way to replicate such a setup with Gnus. Gnus supports multiple IMAP servers and you can display several groups at the same time as well: ,----[ (info "(gnus)Misc Article") ] | `gnus-single-article-buffer' | If non-`nil', use the same article buffer for all the groups. | (This is the default.)

People facing this problem often run two Emacs instances, one for Gnus, one for the rest. Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
