Platform: Intel Pentium, debian woody, GNU Emacs 20.7.2,
Oort Gnus v0.05 (CVS checkout from today)
I just tried creating an nnimap server for the cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu
machine, which
<http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/>
lists as holding a the cyrus imapd mailing list archive on a public
access IMAP server.
When I pressed SPC on this server to list the available groups, the
following happened:
Connecting to cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu...
Opening nnimap server on cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu...
imap: Connecting to cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu...
Waiting for response from cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu...done
imap: Connecting to cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu...done
imap: Reconnecting with stream `gssapi'...
Opening GSSAPI IMAP connection with `imtest -m gssapi -u %l -p %p %s'...
GSSAPI IMAP connection: failed
imap: Reconnecting with stream `gssapi'...failed
Opening nnimap server on cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu...failed
Unable to contact server cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu: nil
Auto-saving...
Unable to contact server cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu: nil
www.google.com seems to indicate that imtest is a command line IMAP
test tool. A search on <http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages> finds
it as part of the cyrus-imapd debian package, which my client machine
doesn't have installed. Does it need to have it to be able to use
GSSAPI? Whatever that is...? google seems to indicate that it is an
API, and so does the name. But the messages over seems to indicate
that it is some kind of secure connection...?

Try this method instead (from the manual):
(nnimap "cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu"
(nnimap-authenticator anonymous)
(nnimap-list-pattern "archive.*")
(nnimap-stream network))

They got a gazillion groups, the list-pattern limits it to interesting
groups.

And since you don't have an account at the machine, you need to tell
nnimap to login anonymously. GSSAPI means Kerberos 5, in this case.

Blush! Two searches with `s' from the top, for "anonymous", and there
it was...:-)

That worked fine, thanx.
BTW, where are the marks stored for anonymous IMAP groups? In
~/.newsrc.eld?

On the server if it allows it, but if nnimap can't save them to the
server it should use .newsrc.eld. (Or rather the other way around, if
the server can save them, nnimap restore those flags from the server
instead of trusting .newsrc.eld.) But it probably hasn't been tested
a lot.
