Can you post the entire backtrace? Well, I've killed all my truman mailboxes and, after I remove truman as a gnus-secondary-select-methods, I cannot start gnus successfully. Here is the backtrace: Signaling: (error "Trying to require a method that doesn't exist") signal(error ("Trying to require a method that doesn't exist")) cerror("Trying to require a method that doesn't exist") apply(cerror "Trying to require a method that doesn't exist") error("Trying to require a method that doesn't exist") gnus-server-opened((nil "")) gnus-activate-group("nnimap+truman:INBOX/Linux/RedHat/Watch" scan) gnus-get-unread-articles(nil) gnus-setup-news(nil nil nil) byte-code("..."

I looked at my .newsrc.eld file and my truman-based groups are currently listed in gnus-newsrc-alist and gnus-topic-alist. So where do I go from here? I need to kill truman since the server is about to be taken off-line!
