Hi
I would like to read mail on my server with gnus.
I have installed dovecot on my computer and I use procmail to sort my
mail in ~/Mail and other subfolders.
I don't managed to find the good option of .gnus file to read my
mails.
Somebody could help me ?
(i have these lines on my .emacs :
;; Definit Gnus comme lecteur courriel
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
'(load-home-init-file t t)
'(message-directory "~/Mail/")
'(read-mail-command (quote gnus))))
)

Why don't you just access your dovecot Imap server directly
through Gnus and the nnimap backend ?

Sorry, but I'm just a beginner and I don't know exactly what a backend
is.
However I have tried to put on letter B, I have chosen nnimap, I have
written my machine.domain.org and gnus answers :
" Unable to open nnimap:xabi.crans.org, go offline? (y or n)"
(But i can connect to my imap server with thunderbird)

you should change this, this is your imap folder, gnus should not use it

Here is a minimal example of what you need:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "YOUR NNTP SERVER"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "PUT A NAME HERE IF YOU LIKE"
(nnimap-address "YOUR IMAP SERVER")
(nnimap-server-port 143); not necessary as this port is the default
(nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/user/.authinfo") ;useful if you want
automatic authentication
)))
Then you will have to subscribe to the boxes procmail has created with "U"
(when connected to your server)
hth,
