AFAIK, the Emacs `auth-source' library used by Gnus does not understand multiple users on the same domain, so it will be very tricky to use a local IMAP configuration like the one you're describing. Auth-source expects a 1:1 correspondence between users and domains. If, as I infer from your description of your local Dovecot setup, all of these IMAP users are you, you'd probably be better off having all of your remote IMAP accounts go to a single inbox on the Dovecot server. You can use (info "(gnus) Posting Styles") to make sure that replies are handled correctly for each remote IMAP user and mail-splitting or server-side IMAP folders to make the deluge of mail easier to manage. Multiple virtual users on Dovecot to handle one person's mail is not a great solution. Hope this helps, WGG
