Hi, I was reading : https://libredd.it/r/emacs/comments/rhxfqx/threaded_and_syncced_emails_with_gnus_how_can_i/ I come from mu4e. With mu4e I never had to worry about threads, I could enable or disable their display with a keybinding and that's was it. Simpler times without sieve and dovecot. With gnus, I am a bit confuse. We have the variable `gnus-message-archive-method' and `gnus-message-archive-group' to archive sent mails. We have also `gnus-posting-styles' to fill headers when composing a mail, to eg, CC, BCC or GCC (what does exactly means GCC?), eventually to myself or one of my folders. Then we can set `gnus-parameters' to `gcc-self' for some groups (but here I am lost). In top of that if you use gmane.io, as another secondary method than you imap/pop mail server, you eventually have to tweak `gnus-refer-thread-use-search' to t and `gnus-refer-article-method' to (something ?) to be able to retrieve your threads between back-ends. Is it possible to archive the whole threads of whom I initiate/reply ? What do you do with all theses variables ? For reference in my excursion in gnus, I read the dotfiles of jao and jwiegley, if you'are kind enough to share yours, thank's you.

It's hard to tell exactly what you're asking here: threads and archiving
are completely separate concerns. I'm not sure what you mean by
"archiving the whole threads".
Archiving says what to do with your sent messages. By default, the
`gnus-message-archive-method' and `gnus-message-archive-group' options
will be combined to indicate where your sent messages should go. If any
outgoing message has a GCC header, the sent message will be saved to
that method+group instead, and the previous two options will be ignored.
That's about sent messages.
Threads... are just threads. You can toggle thread display with C-M-t.
Are you asking about including your sent messages in the thread display?
If you set `gnus-refer-thread-use-search' to t, Gnus will look in all
groups in the current server for messages that belong to this thread,
and pull them in.
Your archive server will be different from gmane.io, but if you use "A
T" in a gmane group, your own messages to the thread will also be
fetched (from gmane, not from your archive server), so you'll still see
the whole conversation.
That's my best guess as to what you're after! Let me know what further
questions you've got.

Well to me, nnimap is enough! Email provider is Google Gmail.

> Well, what do you want to do? One of my objectives is to keep on my storage the mailing lists I consult with an expiry of two or none years. Local storage is important for me as I am often without access to internet. Leafnode get me to some point here as it is easy with it to subscribe to mailing lists and manage them locally. (but the fact that many mailing list exige registration to be allowed to post and that some subject of my interest uses now discourse makes me relativise its usefulness). For now I have difficulties to know when somebody respond to me on a mailing list : - my Sent archive does not refer automatically to it - my Sent archive is incapable for now to refer at all my leafnode storage. (the notmuch integration is currently bugged and trying to index with dovecot lead me nowhere as for now) - I see a conflict coming when expiry would take place : will my sent archive be more and more unable to refer. - my current naive take is to refer when I can from my sent mails or to seek for the subject in my storage, that is proportionally cumbersome as the number of mail I sent. > https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/gnus/ Thanks, I will look at it now I have some free time.
