Typo : sacrilege I know, but I mean emacs ;) I might try your way just as an academic exercise at one stage. You still need to manually run offlineimap in emacs though whereas mine just happens and I get informed as and when offlineimap has done its job so I can see the mail instantly! I use Mail Notification 5.4 to then preview whether to bother firing up gnus and fetching (instantly) from my local dovecot. My offlineimap config handles multiple accounts too. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
