Subject: Using IMAP as POP, :mailbox taking a list?
Date: Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:12:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87si6uy55n.fsf@tullinup.koldfront.dk> (raw)
Hi,
I'm using IMAP as POP at work (because the server is Microsoft Exchange,
i.e. reasons) in Gnus, and it works nicely.
To make email usable on the phone, however, I have configured Outlook to
sort incoming email into folders.
But I still want to fetch all [unseen] email into GNus, using IMAP as
POP.
So I have added 10 imap-entries to my mail-sources, each with a
different :mailbox value.
This works.
Except for one minor thing: it takes a while to establish the connection
to the mailserver 10 times (using ssl). Making getting my email fix a
little annoying.
So I was thinking: if the :mailbox value could be a list, then I could
have only one imap entry in mail-sources, and only one connection, and
Gnus could just fetch from each mailbox in the list.
Does that sound feasible? Reasonable? Any ideas at how to implement,
where to look?
(All this talk to avoid starting to look at the code myself, hmm...)
Best regards,
Adam
