I think the point is that I haven't understood the differences between mail-sources and gnus-secondary-select-methods. If i've got it right mail-sources is used to specify mail servers where mail is downloaded to local disk space. In this case how do I specify the nnml backend to hold the articles? I'll have to read mail from different places: at work, from the customers location or from my laptop. So I think leaving mail on the IMAP server is the best idea. In this case: how do I set up gnus? Using the nnimap-* variables or is it sufficient to setup gnus-secondary-select-methods?
