Subject: Switching to nnimap

Message-ID: <2tlaecv85ik.fsf@mail.zoso> (raw)

Hi,

I'm trying to switching to nnimap with the latest gnus from CVS and
need help for a few things.

Here's my nnimap entries in gnus-secondary-select-methods

,----
| (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
| 	     '(nnimap "imapserver"
| 		      (nnimap-address "imapserver.eng.sun.com")
| 		      (nnimap-list-pattern '("INBOX" ("Mail/nnimap/" . "*")))
| 		      (nnimap-username tonyl)
| 		      ))
| 
| (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
| 	     '(nnimap ""
| 		      (nnimap-address "imapserver.eng.sun.com")
| 		      (nnimap-list-pattern '("INBOX" ("Mail/nnimap/" . "*")))
| 		      (nnimap-username tonyl)
| 		      ))
`----

  * they're both actually pointing to the same imap server, but I got
    "server denied" for the 2nd entry (nnimap "" ...), so I have to
    use the first one which resulting long group names
    "nnimap+imapserver:Mail/nnimap/..." instead of
    "nnimap:Mail/nnimap/.." that I like.

  * nnimap-list-pattern in the above entries doesn't seem to be used,
    I have to set a global one outside select-method to make nnimap
    use it.

  * nnimap-username is not used regardless it's being set inside the
    select-method or globally. 

Are they the way supposed to work and there's something I missed? 

TIA.
