They could, but they shouldn't have to. ;-) It should also be possible to identify the backend from the path through the server variables, at least for nnml and nnmaildir (and therefore for nnimap as the remaining choice). > Then they probably need some wrappers around the nnmairix interface > functions so that they use the correct mairixrc/database for the > current backend. Actually, nnmairix does that already. If it cannot be determined which mairix installation is "responsible" for the current backend, the user is asked and this information is saved in the group parameters. >> Jumping to the original message in this group is another problem since >> we only know the message-id but not the article number. nnmaildir and >> nnml support fetching articles by message-id, but AFAIK nnimap does >> not. > > It does, but only on a per-group basis.
