Christoph, Thanks for the explanation.
1. In order to run mbsync on demand, do you use an IDLE-capable daemon, mbsync on crontab, or something else? Apparently, people wrote several IDLE daemons, but I cannot tell which one is more reliable. 2. Also, is it somehow better to connect to dovecot on demand through (setq my-nnimap-shell-program ...) rather than use native IMAP support in GNUS? Best regards.
