Subject: Using the new auth-source
Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 14:53:06 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d3mq9stp.fsf@gnus.org> (raw)
I've been busy the last few days, so I haven't pulled the new
auth-source stuff before now.
It's kinda confusing. I'm first presented with this prompt:
Enter host for [USER?](imap.gmail.com imap.gmail.com):(143 993 imap imaps) (TAB to see the choices):
TAB then completes to the host name? And then it queries me for a user
name? And then it queries me for the port!? And then it asks me for
the password?
This is very confusing. Why is it asking me for the host name and the
port number, when these are given by Gnus/nnimap?
This is in addition to all the credentials being in ~/.authinfo already,
so it shouldn't be asking me anything, really.
So it something broken in my setup, or is this how auth-info is supposed
to query people now? And if so, why?
