Hi!
Just like a lot of other people in this list is doing, I've been a happy
Gnus user with a local dovecot installation. For several years I've been
using something like:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnimap "myemail"
(nnimap-stream shell)
(nnimap-shell-program
"/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap -o
mail_location=maildir:~/mail/:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/mail/inbox"))))
(In fact, I've had a few more nnimap entries, but that's not relevant.)
Unfortunately, the imap interface has changed quite a bit with recent
dovecot versions (2.4.1 here), and this doesn't work anymore. After
spending quite some time trying to get a similar setup, I had to give up
and started using the real (non-local) imap servers.
As anyone found a solution? Or the solution is to bite the bullet and
configure and run the full dovecot server locally? I'd prefer to keep
running the imap binary only using my user (with nnimap-shell-program),
mainly because:
1) I have more than one email account, and this would keep them neatly
separated and
2) it's *much* simpler to configure.
Cheers,
