Hello,
I know emails and news are two different beasts outside Gnus Towers but I am
looking for informations explaining how these two /beasts/ are viewed inside
Gnus -i.e what are the mail-centric-features vs nntp-features.
For example, does (adaptative) scoring work for both world ? Does expiration
work asame ? etc.
Thank you
Returning to C-h i Gnus RET

Basically email is a special case of news, and most things work
similarly. I don't use adaptive scoring, but I use the usual scoring
stuff all the time in nnimap groups. I use topic mode in the groups
buffer. I also use expiration, but auto-expire and total-expire, in
nnimap groups. In this case the messages (articles, gnus calls them)
are actually removed from IMAP server. The only funny part is that
expiration happens when exiting a group, so it's somewhat async and in
arrears, but in terms of keeping messages around for a while and then
pruning, it works for me.

Thanks for your feedback. I am considering to go « full NNTP » for all my
mailing-lists needs (as long as it is possible). For example, I know gnu.*
hierarchy offers many groups I regularly read without having to write a line
of sieve script or without subscription.
Will see. Are you aware of any trouble switching from normal mailing-list
subscription to NNTP for ding for example ? (lag, gap, post missing, etc.)

You know about gmane?

Almost certainly you do! but worth flagging it up in this thread.

I had a similar setup, but moved back to mailing lists because of
1) many groups (particularly but not exclusively google groups) I can
not post to via gmane but I have to use mail. And in many cases, the
posts to gmane simply disappear in these cases - any suggestions on how
I can solve this (posting to via mail instead of gmane), and I am likely
to move back to gmane for all mailing lists
2) archiving of the posts as a ressource to search is much faster when
using offline storage of the posts and notmuch for indexing. I can
search gmane from gnus as well, but I kind of prefer notmuch.
Now I am back to all lists I might write to are mailing lists again.

How is it better?
I switched in the opposite direction some time ago. Mainly due to the
reason that usually free software projects use mailing lists as official
channel, not a newsgroup - so why use mail-to-news translation?

Complete archives, your MTA/MUA must only handle those mes-
sages that you actually read, etc.

This is what I am asking for ;)
Actually, I can see at least these points:
- - No need to sort/split my input feed; the articles are right in the right
(nntp) group.
- - Disk footprint on both my computers and my e-mail provider
- - with gmane, it is likely that any mailing list you read frequently, has its
gmane equivalent.

If I understand correctly, you want to automatically switch to a mail-message
when posting on certain gmane groups instead of news-message, right ?
Dunno if it could work but did you try specifying `gnus-parameters' for these
groups ?

I dropped notmuch entirely; too much « work » to maintain its index and I
always forget the query syntax altogether ;)

Yes - exactly (as pointed out in my question here). I will look into
these later today.

Maintenance: I use offlineimap to sync my gmail account to a local
dovecot imap server, and after each sync, "notmuch" -new is called - so
no maintenance on my side.
query syntax: This is tricky, but I usually use simple searches which
are no problem via the emacs interface.
And I am sure the gmane search syntax is also not to simple?
Oh - one other advantage of mailing list: I can read them on all my
devices. OK - I have to filter them by using rules on the server (gmail
in my case), but than I can read them from all devices (gnus, web gmail,
iPhone, whatever I use t access my gmail account).
Cheers,
Rainer

How are the syntaxes complex? (I don't know the syntax, even though I
use both, so I am asking out of curiosity.)
(Both notmuch and the Gmane search is built on Xapian, by the way.)

sorry for the noise... but is it somehow possible to see your dovecot
config? I never managed to run a local dovecot imap server in
archlinux...
many thanks in advance!

sure - had it working on Linux and now on OS X. AS far as I remember, I
just installed it (on OXS X vie homebrew) and started it. The only
change:
set my
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
in the conf.d/10-mail.conf file
That was it.
The actual configuration is the default.

Right, then Gnus connects via (for instance, for this email address):
(nnimap "EA"
(nnimap-address "localhost")
(nnimap-stream network)
(nnimap-authenticator login)
(nnimap-user "eric@ericabrahamsen.net"))

Or like this:
(nnimap "Maildir"
(nnimap-stream shell)
(nnimap-shell-program "/usr/local/opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Maildir")))
If you do it like this, it is not necessary to run the imap server
daemon - no worries about security. And if I am correc=ct, you don't
need to configure dovecot with the conf file, as you specify the
parameters in the commandline.

Right -- I was originally doing that (single dovecot invocations), and
wrote the blog post above because I thought that I needed an
always-running daemon in order for FTS indexing to work. Later on I
discovered it's not really necessary, but on the other hand the daemon
hasn't bothered me any, so...

dovecot has fts indexed with lucene or solr. how are you using nnmaildir
fts ? is it indexed search ?

I don't use nnmaildir at all -- the whole point of using nnimap is that
dovecot then does the searching for you? The backend is specified as
nnimap, and nnir does the rest.
