Just as an FYI to the OP if new to Gnus, I have found the best set up for me with Gnus is dovecot locally fed by offlineimap which is run as a cron job every half hour or so. nnir search works really well and of course there are then no performance or bandwidth issues with Gnus talking imap with remote gmail servers. Plus you have a local copy of your mail. Here is one "how to" for the set up: http://sachachua.com/blog/2008/05/geek-how-to-use-offlineimap-and-the-dovecot-mail-server-to-read-your-gmail-in-emacs-efficiently/ http://tinyurl.com/26cwmok regards r.
