Following the examples provided on this list, I've setup Gnus to use a
maildir populated by OfflineIMAP as follows:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(
(nnimap "FreeOffline"
(nnimap-stream shell)
(nnimap-shell-program "/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Maildir-free")
)
(nnimap "GmailOffline"
(nnimap-stream shell)
(nnimap-shell-program "/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Maildir-gmail")
)
))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I've also some other nnimap backends (the ones actually synced by
OfflineIMAP until I make the final swith), some nntp.
I can Browse the GmailOffline server, which contains only one folder
named "INBOX" (I've only synced this one so far) but Gnus complains that
it cannot access it.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Couldn’t enter nnimap+GmailOffline:INBOX")
signal(error ("Couldn’t enter nnimap+GmailOffline:INBOX"))
error("Couldn't enter %s" "nnimap+GmailOffline:INBOX")
gnus-browse-read-group(no nil)
gnus-browse-select-group(nil)
funcall-interactively(gnus-browse-select-group nil)
call-interactively(gnus-browse-select-group nil nil)
command-execute(gnus-browse-select-group)
../--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong ?

So my problems are with dovecot: In Maildir-free (synced from another IMAP server I'm also setting up), I only synced the "General" folder. But running --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Maildir-free * LIST "" * --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- lists only an INBOX folder which isn't there... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * LIST "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX * OK List completed. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Here is the output of ls in this dir, with no INBOX folder in --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ls ~/Maildir/free General dovecot-uidvalidity maildirfolder cur dovecot-uidvalidity.5629f967 new dovecot-uidlist dovecot.index.log tmp --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Maybe this INBOX remains from previous attempts, how can I clear all of dovecot cache if that's what it is ?

If that does not work, I'd say the problem might be in your offlineimap configuration. Did you check the contents of your "Maildir-free" directory? As a side question, does anybody have performance problems with this setup? (on-demand dovecot process) I was wondering if having an always-running daemon with all my mail accounts would be faster (although I don't know how to do that).
