Hm, reading your config below I would thing that localhost-IMAP would be
the correct machine name. Else, how would gnus figure out how to login
on i.e. a local newsserver that uses a different user/password.

No big difference to my config. I only set the stream/authenticator to
use no encryption, because the tls connection broke down several times.
But even if I use exactly your config (with my name for the method) it
won't logon automatically. Well, I'll try to edebug it as Reiner
suggested.

Yeah, dovecot here, too. I never tried running a local IMAP server
because I thought it would be quite complex, but in fact it was easy,
basically: emerge dovecot; edit a few lines in the well commented
dovecot.conf, start the server.
Another question about dovecot: When I used nnmaildir I indexed the
mails with mairix and could do very fast searches with the nnmairix
backend. Currently I use nnir's imap backend to search on the local
imap server, but that takes ages for huge groups. Is there a way to
teach dovecot to use a mailindexing tool to speed that up?
Bye,
