It's server three purpose - I want a copy of my mail locally for speed and backup - I want my mail on gmail to been accessible from everywhere - I want both to be synchronized So I use offlineimap to have a local maildir that is a mirror of Gmail's imap view of my mail. But gnus support of maildir is terrible, and I want gnus because I want only one software for mail and news, and I'm used to gnus. So I use a local imap server (dovecot) to read my mail So: gmail <--- offlineimap ---> maildir <--- dovecot ---> gnus It is complicated, but I can read my mail from any computer, using gnus+IMAP if it's one of my computer, and gmail webmail for the rest. -- Rémi Vanicat
