There are many people that either use IMAP directly (Gnus has become very good at IMAP) if they don't need to access all their mails when being offline, or use offlineimap to synchronize several remote IMAP accounts with a local dovecot IMAP server. I think, I'd recommend one of those approaches over syncing to nnmaildir. > Here are a list of concerns: > - when I open gnus, although I added 'gnus-topic-mode as a hook, groups > do not appear classified by topics but in plain list form, You have to create topics first. ,----[ (info "(gnus)Topic Commands") ] | Here is a list of the basic keys that you might need to set up topics | the way you like. | | `T n' | Prompt for a new topic name and create it | (`gnus-topic-create-topic'). | [...] `---- > - again when I open gnus, groups' status does not appear to have been > saved and I got all my groups in the following format: > > *: INBOX.linkedin > *: INBOX.kanbandev > *: INBOX.jsdoc > *: INBOX.js > *: INBOX.ieee-acm I only use nntp and nnimap, so I'm not sure about this one... > - groups are never updated in the group buffer.

(But I don't use BBDB, so it might be some other key...) Bye, Tassilo
