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.

A reference setup can be found in
