I am currently using mu4e for email, but I would like to try out Gnus (while keeping my working mu4e setup in order to be able to actually do email while trying out/setting up Gnus). mu4e uses offlineimap as a backend with Maildir structure. So I was hoping to be able to maintain my Maildir setup while trying out Gnus.
I setup dovecot by simply putting mail_location = maildir:~/home/MYUSERNAME/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and starting the dovecot server. In .gnus.el I put: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "localhost" (nnimap-stream network)))) According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9977182/how-to-integrate-dovecot-version-2-with-gnus-emacs I should then be able to browse servers with ```^```, but when I do this, I find: {nnfolder:archive} (closed) {nndraft:} (opened) {nnimap:localhost} (denied) {nntp:news} (denied) I assume I want {nnimap:localhost}, but that appear inaccessible. I also found somewhat different instructions at http://roland.entierement.nu/blog/2010/09/08/gnus-dovecot-offlineimap-search-a-howto.html , but as that info is over 5 years old, I wasn't sure if it was still current. Does anyone have any further tips on how to get Gnus up and running with a local Dovecot server (with mailsync handled with offlineimap)? And should this be able co-exist alongside mu4e? thanks, --Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr Benjamin Slade pgp fingerprint: 21BA 2AE1 28F6 DF36 110A 0E9C A320 BBE8 2B52 EE19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {sent by mu4e on Emacs running under GNU/Linux} (Choose Linux, Choose Freedom) _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
