I have five IMAP(S) accounts.
I tested two solutions:
1. nnimap
Setup is very simple. Just add five accounts to
gnus-second-select-methods. And add auth into to .authinfo.
Install STARTTLS or gnutls-cli.
I used this solution and found it's too slow for me. So I turned to
solution 2. I am very happy with it.
2. offlineimap+nnmaildir
Use offlineimap to sync all emails to local machine(s). And add five
nnmaildir to gnus-second-select-methods. Much faster.
You can have a try. Absolutely not difficult as you may think.
FYI, I use Emacs 23 and No Gnus 0.6.
