Yesterday I added a new one. Today the new groups showed up but they contain all the mail of the wrong account. >From ~/.gnu: (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "hputnam3" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com"))) (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "harrygp3" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com"))) The accounts have different names and different passwords. They are listed in .authinfo like so: (passwords obfuscated) machine imap.gmail.com login hputnam3@gmail.com password xxxxxxxx port imap machine imap.gmail.com login harrygp3@gmail.com password xxxxxxxx port imap When I ran gnus, it had pickup all of hputnam3 imap mail and placed it in groups named harrygp3. In other words it had retrieved all the wrong mail for the newly added imap account. I noticed that the passwords while different were only different by case. (PAssword and password), so I thought that might be the reason. I went to gmail and changed the password of harrygp3 so it was different by an actual char... an underscore, then changed the lines in .authinfo. I then stripped out all reference to harrygp3 from .newsrc.eld (with gnus closed) and started gnus again. However it still retrieves all of hputnam3 mail and places it in harrygp3 groups. Gack... now what?
