Subject: Problems copying Gnus configuration to a new account
Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 14:09:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1s1vxnsmwg.fsf@voll.uninett.no> (raw)

I am trying to copy my complete Gnus setup to a different user account
(on the same host), but my *Group* buffer on the new account is empty
(0 Messages) and the *Server* buffer only has 'nnml:archive'. 

I cannot figure out what is missing. I know that I can manually
register new servers in the *Server* buffer, but I would like to
understand how and where Gnus stores my server settings.

I am primarily using the nnimap backend (two differend IMAP accounts),
but I have configured a combination of nnml and nnimap like this:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml "")
 	(nnimap "foo" ...)
 	(nnimap "bar" ...)))

The following files are identical on the two accounts:

  ~/.emacs
  ~/.gnus
  ~/.newsrc
  ~/.newsrc.eld
  ~/.mail/active

Gnus on my new account doesn't even try to contact the configured IMAP
servers. 

What am I missing here?
