I want to only access them via IMAP. nnml will be out of the picture now. Basically, I want to use IMAP in order to use things like IMP to get to _all_ my mail even if I can't run Gnus at that time. > If you want to access your mail remotely via (nn)imap, the variables > you mention are not used at all.

(Or with the nnimap splitter.) Yeah, I figured that. I will indeed be using procmail on the server. I'm just making sure I don't screw something up :) I know how IMAP works and how Gnus "works" and such. I'm just looking to see if anybody had any "hints" on switching from nnml to nnimap.
