What is the pine way?
Note that there are two ways in Gnus to deal with IMAP. One way is to
use an `imap' mail source. This treats IMAP as if it was POP, ie Gnus
just reads the messages from there and saves them in the home dir.
This is not how IMAP was meant to be used.
The other way is to use nnimap. This makes Gnus be a real IMAP
client. It operates in online mode by default, but by using the agent
(search for `agent' and `unplugged' in the Gnus info file), you can
also use Gnus as an offline (disconnected mode) reader.
