I think POP is from before mail folders on the mail server was a thing? You can also "use IMAP as POP" - instead of how IMAP was intended to be used - eg. if your mail server doesn't have POP, which is what I do: ; Get local mail, and use IMAPS as well: (setq mail-sources '((file) (imap :server "mail.koldfront.dk" :stream tls))) This downloads the email from the server and stores it locally, marking the email as deleted on the server. As far as I remember it just gets the email from INBOX per default; I do splitting locally. Yep, Gnus says: Reading incoming mail from imap... imap: Connecting to mail.koldfront.dk...
