Whoa, that's interesting. And confusing! I'll give it some research.

No, I meant dovecot -- I was thinking again of the original workflow I
had planned: mbsync to bring the messages down to maildirs, and then
accessing those maildirs in gnus via dovecot (which would allow two-way
syncing). Each "server" in gnus is a single invocation of dovecot, which
I think would mean separate servers for each box of each account, which
seemed excessive. But who knows, I have to admit this is all more
flexible (and thus abstruse) than I expected.
