I am using nnmail.

I use fetchmail to fetch the messages from the imap server exposed by
ProtonMail's bridge, storing them in a local maildirs.

Then, I declare those maildirs in `mail-sources', and the messages are
read using Gnus's nnmail backend. That is, what Gnus ultimately uses is
nnmail with sources that happen to be a maildirs; imap is not involved.

Thus, elements in the mail-sources list have the form
(maildir "/home/jao/maildirs/foo").  Finally, although i don't think that
matters, a set of rules in `nnmail-split-fancy' tell Gnus to what nnmail
group each message belongs.

Cheers,
jao
