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...)
