The secondary server entry is (nnimap "doohan" (nnimap-address "doohan.somewhere.org") (nnimap-stream shell)) (address anonymized to protect the innocent) The user name on the client machine is "sba", the user name on doohan is "sb". I have an ~/.authinfo containing machine doohan.somewhere.org login sb machine doohan login sb So far, I have tried (add-to-list 'imap-shell-program "ssh %s telnet localhost imap") then (add-to-list 'imap-shell-program "ssh -l %l %s telnet localhost imap") then (add-to-list 'imap-shell-program "ssh -l sb %s telnet localhost imap") then (add-to-list 'imap-shell-program "ssh -l sb doohan.somewhere.org telnet localhost imap") but Gnus is still hanging, trying to connect to doohan on startup. I have verified that the command ssh -l sb doohan.somewhere.org telnet localhost imap works from the command line, with the response: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to doohan. Escape character is '^]'. * OK doohan Cyrus IMAP4 v1.5.19 server ready Is it the stuff preceeding "* OK" the imap backend croaks on? Thanx! - Steinar
