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:
nnmairix server—choose whatever you
want.
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
(see 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
(see nnmairix caveats). If you want to use mairix remotely on an
IMAP server, you have to choose the corresponding
nnimap server here.
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.
nnmairix groups. Choose whatever you
like.
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.
