my present way of handling imap with claws-mail is to periodically transfer items from the server to a local folder. i also transfer things from my sent folder. with threading everything falls nicely into place and i can look things up efficiently. essentially it reads like a newsgroup.
is there a better way now that i've switched to gnus? for instance, some people use dovecot to create a local inbox for incoming email (i imagine you can spam-filter this too). then i can have my sent items go into this folder as well instead of to a sent folder and it'll be just like newsgroup. or i could have outgoing mail go right to the server inbox to accomplish the same thing, but then i'd have to transfer everything locally at some point in time. another advantage i see with the first idea is that searching would be faster since my personal machine is much more powerful than my home server and i can use something like mairix or nnir (just heard of that one) to do indexing. i'd appreciate any thoughts on setup of this sort. we're about to move fully to gnus before the new year and it would be nice to get it right the first time! -- In friendship, prad _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
