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?
