I don't know much about how things work in the background, but mairix produces a maildir of results, so maybe that's why it is handled specially. One of the great things about it is that it can already combine results from maildirs and mboxes, so it already works across (some) servers. But from a configuration perspective, I've often had trouble with nnmairix, so it would be great if it could be fitted into a more general, stable set-up. Maybe mairix's raw mode that you mention would help with this? But then Gnus would have to work backwords from the maildir paths and nnfolder paths + position in file to figure out the messages... >> How do you handle differing capabilities of the search backends?
