nnir on several (imap) servers

[Erik Colson]

Hi!

I have several mailboxes on several imap servers. When I'm searching
something I have to launch the query on every server separately (from
the server buffer). Is it possible to launch a query on multiple servers
at once and additionaly to get the results grouped in one nnir buffer ?

Yup, simply mark (#) each group first, and then issue the search as
normal. Gnus will perform the search across the corresponding servers,
and present the results in one nnir buffer.

yep, I guess I didn't explain it fully corectly:

I would like to search _all_ groups of a predefined list of servers
(this can be hardcoded), without having to select all groups for that..

If you put all the groups of a server (or more than one server) within a
topic, in group topic view, you can search them all by GG on the topic
line, I believe.

Hi Eric

Thanks for the idea..

it does work, but then again I must use topics or activate topic-mode
and then go to the specific topic and then launch the search. It's a
workaround but it ain't very efficient..
