I've been trying to understand how to implement a Good Enough™ archive solution for GNUS. I currently sync my mail with GMail, using offlineimap and a local dovecot server. It's great, especially on my netbook on campus, since the WiFi is pretty unstable there. I tried to understand what the archive mentioned in the "Foreign Groups" (in the manual, http://goo.gl/bq4oa ) meant or how it works, but couldn't understand it. All that happened when typing G a in my Groups-buffer was that GNUS added a group called "*: nndir:ding.recent", wtf? I would like to have a total backlog of my mails (sometimes I need to go back in my history), but right now offlineimap downloads several copies of my mails (one for each label/folder, one for the big archive folder...) which is very ineffective. How do you do it? Oscar
