Here's the secondary-select-methods entry for my private dovecot server: '((nnimap "privat" (nnimap-address "myhost.mydomain.no") (nnir-search-engine imap) (nnimap-stream ssl)) Position the cursor over an nnimap group, and do `G G' and type in a search string. This will create a temporary group with the matches. I would have liked to: - Make the search span both that particular group, as well as its archive group (which I normally have hidden) - Make it possible to navigate from a match to the match inside the actual group, so that - It is possible to tick it, if it is unticked - I will get the usual group parameters and gnus-posting-styles for the group (I would also have liked to have those match the actual group, even if the article is found in the archive group), so that I can respond correctly to the article The reason I use an archive group is that (the current) nnimap has a problem with groups with a large number of articles. There's also a general gnus problem with groups with a large number of ticked articles... well there used to be a problem... eg. back in 2001 on emacs 20 on machines with 24MB of memory. Not neccessarily today with emacs 22 or 23 and 1GB or more of memory.
