gnus: Configuring nnmairix

 
 8.2.5 Configuring nnmairix
 --------------------------
 
 In group mode, type ‘G b c’
 (‘nnmairix-create-server-and-default-group’).  This will ask you for all
 necessary information and create a ‘nnmairix’ server as a foreign
 server.  You will have to specify the following:
 
    • The *name* of the ‘nnmairix’ server—choose whatever you want.
 
    • The name of the *back end server* where mairix should store its
      searches.  This must be a full server name, like ‘nnml:mymail’.
      Just hit ‘TAB’ to see the available servers.  Currently, servers
      which are accessed through ‘nnmaildir’, ‘nnimap’ and ‘nnml’ are
      supported.  As explained above, for locally stored mails, this can
      be an existing server where you store your mails.  However, you can
      also create, e.g., a new ‘nnmaildir’ or ‘nnml’ server exclusively
      for ‘nnmairix’ in your secondary select methods (Finding the
      News).  If you use a secondary ‘nnml’ server just for mairix,
      make sure that you explicitly set the server variable
      ‘nnml-get-new-mail’ to ‘nil’, or you might lose mail (
      nnmairix caveats).  If you want to use mairix remotely on an IMAP
      server, you have to choose the corresponding ‘nnimap’ server here.
 
    • The *command* to call the mairix binary.  This will usually just be
      ‘mairix’, but you can also choose something like ‘ssh SERVER
      mairix’ if you want to call mairix remotely, e.g., on your IMAP
      server.  If you want to add some default options to mairix, you
      could do this here, but better use the variable
      ‘nnmairix-mairix-search-options’ instead.
 
    • The name of the *default search group*.  This will be the group
      where all temporary mairix searches are stored, i.e., all searches
      which are not bound to permanent ‘nnmairix’ groups.  Choose
      whatever you like.
 
    • If the mail back end is ‘nnimap’ or ‘nnmaildir’, you will be asked
      if you work with *Maildir++*, i.e., with hidden maildir folders
      (=beginning with a dot).  For example, you have to answer ‘yes’
      here if you work with the Dovecot IMAP server.  Otherwise, you
      should answer ‘no’ here.
