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.

You're quoting things twice here. Remove the second '. This explain
why `nnimap-list-pattern' doesn't work.

This variable doesn't exist. Please read about .authinfo in the
manual. This explain why `nnimap-username' doesn't work.

Weird. If you set `imap-log', and go to the server buffer `^' and
press `O' on the second entry, what's the content of the *imap-log*
buffer?

I got "Couldn't open" in message buffer, but nothing in *imap-log*
buffer, and the followings in "nnimap-debug* buffer:
======================================================================
1 -> nnimap-open-server: server="" defs=nil
| 2 -> nnimap-server-opened: server=""
| 2 <- nnimap-server-opened: nil
| 2 -> nnimap-open-connection: server=""
| 2 <- nnimap-open-connection: nil
1 <- nnimap-open-server: nil
Thanks for your help.

It still doesn't work, it tries to list all files in my home directory
when I scan the server. Here's the current value of my
gnus-secondary-select-methods:
,----
| ((nnimap ""
| (nnimap-address "imapserver.eng.sun.com")
| (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" ("Mail/nnimap/" . "*"))))
| (nnimap "imapserver"
| (nnimap-address "imapserver.eng.sun.com")
| (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" ("Mail/nnimap/" . "*"))))
| (nnfolder ""))
`----

Ok, this works fine with nnimap-authinfo-file.
Thanks again for your help.

Are there perhaps occurances of the old select method in .newsrc.eld?
Try C-k'ing your groups on the nnimap server, change the backend
definition and re-subscribe the groups with the new definition.

This looks fine, I think.

I got "Couldn't open" in message buffer but nothing related to this
command in *imap-log*. Also, here's debug info:
,----
| 1 -> nnimap-open-server: server="" defs=nil
| | 2 -> nnimap-server-opened: server=""
| | 2 <- nnimap-server-opened: nil
| | 2 -> nnimap-open-connection: server=""
| | 2 <- nnimap-open-connection: nil
| 1 <- nnimap-open-server: nil
`----
Thanks.

Tried that, didn't help. Nnimap-address and nnimap-list-pattern
defined in gnus-secondary-select-methods are not being used. Are there
anything else I can do to help debug the problem?
Thanks.
