Not to take this thread too far from the well-beaten org-mode path, but
I'd like to add that if you don't want to run dovecot as a daemon, you
can invoke it as a process from both gnus and offlineimap. This
simplifies setting up the dovecot.conf file considerably.
Here are the relevant lines from my .offlineimaprc:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[Repository Local]
type = IMAP
preauthtunnel = /usr/sbin/dovecot -c ~/config/mail/dovecot.conf --exec-mail imap
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
...and my .gnus:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq imap-shell-program "dovecot -c ~/config/mail/dovecot.conf --exec-mail
imap")
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(
(nnimap "fm"
(nnimap-stream shell))
;; [snip] more methods here
))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best,
Matt
