I currently use offlineimap and dovecot to manage my GMail in Gnus with a set up similar to the one you are after. Instead of using Gnus' split mail capacity, I use GMails'. It is possible to set up filters on the web interface such that all emails fitting a certain category are archived automatically. For example I have a filter like this: Matches: to:(emacs-orgmode@gnu.org) Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "Org-Mode" Which, with a few other similar filters, gives me a topic view like so: [ Gnus (new: 0) ] [ GMail (new: 13) ] Org-Mode unread: 10 Stump unread: 3 INBOX unread: 0 [ News (new: 18) ] Although not as flexible as Gnus' filtering, it does the job for me in keeping my web interface == to Gnus/Mutt/Outlook/whatever I'm using.
