Trying to use mu search in gnus and failing

Thanks. I was doing that for a while, but when my University moved to office365 and I had to add davmail to the mix my refreshing for new mail got very slow as it insisted on looking at all the folders. I was hoping to just use nnmaildir and drop dovecot from the mix, but maybe I will find it easier to fix dovecot than get mu working.
What clicked it for me was realizing how simple the configuration could be. You only need to change a single line in the dovecot config to get it working (not including a bit more for the search plugin).
There were some old guides online with the dovecot command to include in the Gnus config, but that has changed, so I had to figure out the updated command to use. I can post that later if you like.
Nnmaildir works great for archives, but when I tried using it for my inbox and other folders, it didn't work out very well. Can't remember exactly what the problems were right now though.
