I had this (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))) ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- *BELOWS* this: (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "hputnam3" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl))) ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- So of course the list got smushed by a full scale declaration of what the secondary-select-method was instead of being added to. Nice catch... thank you both very much It's working nice and smooth now. I still have another problem that has been bugging me for days. I'm trying to catch a backtrace with (setq debug-on-quit t) When I get a nice one I'll start a new thread.
