Now I'm starting to see a need for IMAP access for everything (basically I'm consulting a bit more at customer sites and don't always have access to ssh), by switching to IMAP, I can (*gasp*) use other tools such as IMP (web based IMAP) to get my mail remotely. I've got about 20 nnml groups that I'd like to have available to nnimap. I'm looking over the manual and see that I should setup nnimap as a secondary-select-method. I currently have: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))) I'd like to use SSL for my local connection, openssl is already installed and running as is my imaps server. I'm also using procmail to split my mail and would like to continue to do so. I'm guessing I'll just set it up to deliver to the "real" mailboxes instead of to the spool files I am doing now assuming I want them available to nnimap (or any other imap client). I also have the following vars set: nnmail-use-procmail t mail-source-delete-incoming t I can't seem to find it, but currently my nnml groups expire after 7 days if marked w/ 'E', ie. I can go back and see "deleted" messages which is very helpful at times. It doesn't appear that this is possible w/ nnimap, correct? Basically, I'm just looking for a little advice before I totally hork up my mail :) I'm a little nervous, so some advice on switching would be very helpful. Thanks much! cdh -- Chris D.
