Gnus+IMAP+Gmail

Gnus+IMAP+Gmail

[Shigeki UNO]

 Does anyone use Gnus with Gmail using IMAP successfully?
If so, give me a good guidance or example of ".gnus.el"
that make it work.

 My .gnus.el I set up is the following.

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "gmail"
					      (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
					      (nnimap-server-port 993)
					     ;(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.imap-authinfo")
					      (nnimap-stream ssl))))
 

 After launching Gnus, it connects to imap server of Gmail and asks me
both my Gmail account and password. I enter them and it looks OK but 
no Gmail labels are shown. Whereas nnml mailboxes in my HDD are listed.

What am I wrong???

  This worked for me as a secondary select method:

  (nnimap ""
          (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
          (nnimap-stream ssl)
          (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")

  You have to do subscribe afterwords as you would any other newsgroup
( nnimap:INBOX ) and what ever tags you have defined ( nnimap:my-tag ).

  -- I had no mail-sources defined at the time.

  After testing it out I found it a bit to buggy for my taste, but it
does work.

  Hope this helps. :-)

Thanks*100!!! 

 At the end of last year I switched to Gmail and have not been using Gnus
for a year. I hardly remember about Gnus...(SAD!)

 The lisp codes that I write looks OK and Gnus works like a charm.

Instructions

1. M-x gnus
2. Connect to the Gmail server with "^"
3. {nnimap:gmail}(closed) -> (opened) with "C O"
4. Move cursor to {nnimap:gmail} and RETURN
5. Go to Group buffer and choose groups you want with "u"
6. Go to Server buffer, put cursor on {nnimap:gmail} and enter "J a"
7. Return to Group buffer and press "g" to fetch mails from Gmail.

That's all.

Re: Gnus+IMAP+Gmail

[Shigeki UNO]

 Are these labels(Tags?) listed correctly in Group buffer?

Starred/Sent Mail/Spam/Trash

 And the biggest problem I have now is that labels in Japanese
are not listed in Group buffer due to be unable to decode utf7. 

Any hints?

Thanks.
