To reader@newsguy.com,
In a previous post, you asserted Windows'ness. I refrained from chiming in
then because I only know what works under GNU/Linux. But your questions this
iteration really betray a deep-seated confusion.
Outgoing is orthogonal to nnimap. I will not mention nnimap henceforth except
to say nnimap-gmail without dovecot is unusable with any serious email volume.
The casual user should not attempt outgoing with sendmail or postfix. Use a
thing called "msmtp" to wrangle smtp.gmail.com.
