Great, I had success for this, I followed your guide:
https://ericabrahamsen.net/tech/2014/oct/gnus-dovecot-lucene.html
But I used this in my .gnus file:
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nnimap "OPENMAILBOX"
(nnimap-stream network)
(nnimap-address "localhost")
(nnimap-authenticator login)
(nnimap-user "timisch@openmailbox.org")))

Is there any guide for that?

Any way of letting Gnus do this automatically?
