Sure...I'm just confused a bit considering it's not very strange to have several email accounts on different servers and accessing them *all* within one mail client. > b) As indicated in the answers to that poster, your maildir-syncing > tool would be responsible for synchronizing flags to the IMAP server. > Gnus does move stuff in maildir and set flags in a standard way, > though. In my case there is no maildir-syncing tool 'cause I want to keep all my mail on my localhost machine to which I've physical access. > I am using Emacs 24 on Debian Sid now but the performance with Emacs > 23 connecting via nnimap to 2 remote IMAP servers was perfectly fine > for me.

I'm trying to put together such setup by following setup described in posts like: http://www.cataclysmicmutation.com/2010/11/multiple-gmail-accounts-in-gnus/ > (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods > '((nnimap "imap.somewhere.edu" > (nnimap-server-port 993) > (nnimap-stream ssl)) > ((nnimap "imap.somewhereelse.com" > ...)))) > > etc. etc. etc. I've the following in my init file: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "ggdasa" (nnimap-address "localhost") (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "*")) (nnimap-stream network) (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo") (nnir-search-engine imap)) (nntp "news.t-com.hr"))) and the following: (setq gnus-parameters ;; ggd...@gmail.com ("^nnimap\+ggdasa:*" (posting-style (name "Gour") (address "ggd...@gmail.com") (signature-file "~/.getmail/ggdasa.signature")) (gcc-self . "nnimap+ggdasa:ggdasa.Sent"))) ; ggd...@gmail.com but I always get (tried several variations of regexp): byte-code: Error in ~/.emacs.d/gnus-init.el: ^nnimap+ggdasa:INBOX and have no clue what is wrong and/or how to access IMAP folders of the user 'ggdasa' having email in: ~/dovecot/ggdasa/Maildir/* Any hint? I've ~/.authinfo with the credentials to login to this account.
