Subject: How to debug a new IMAP server type?
Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 18:58:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ob392mus.fsf@dod.no> (raw)

How do one go about debugging a new IMAP server type?

What buffers do I look in? What do I look for in those buffers? Are
there debug options to switch on?

What I've done so far, is to use WireShark and also trying to step
through entering a group on the server in edebug.  Neither of these has
made me any wiser.

As far as I can tell from the WireShark grab, there is a seemingly OK
IMAP dialog between Gnus and the server.  But the result in Gnus is
rather disappointing,  A single article shows up in the summary, looking
like this:
 O. [   ?: nobody                 ] (none)
Entering that article displays an article that looks OK, and looks like
it could be the article in question, based on the time it was sent.

(The server in question is davmail, running on a debian testing machine)
