nnimap configuration

[dmmcf@uiuc.edu (D. Michael McFarland)]

Hello,

At one time I had nnimap working, then switched to nnml, and now I'm
coming back to nnimap.  (Yes, there were reasons, but I don't want to
think about them right now. :-)) I should know a lot more about what
I'm doing this time around, but I can't for the life of me get this
working again.

I'm running Courier IMAP (3.0.7) on the same machine where I run Gnus
(CVS version from a few hours ago), and trying to connect using SSL.
Both mutt and sylpheed work fine, and I can connect running openssl
from the command line.  Furthermore, I can specify this server in
mail-sources as


(setq mail-sources
      '(<SNIP>
        (imap :server "localhost" :stream 'ssl :predicate "1:*")))


and Gnus gets the mail from it without complaint.  But if I try to use
the IMAP server normally, it's always denied.

The relevant bits of my ~/.gnus are


(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnimap "localhost"
                (nnimap-address "localhost")
                (nnimap-stream ssl)
                (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX*")))
        (nnml "")
        (nntp "leafnode" (nntp-address "127.0.0.1"))))

(setq gnus-message-archive-method
      '((nnimap "localhost"
                (nnimap-address "localhost")
                (nnimap-stream ssl))))

(setq gnus-outgoing-message-group "nnimap+localhost:INBOX")

(setq nnimap-split-predicate "UNDELETED")


Here's what I'm seeing in the debug buffers:


1 -> nnimap-server-opened: server="localhost"
1 <- nnimap-server-opened: nil
======================================================================
1 -> nnimap-open-server: server="localhost" defs=nil
| 2 -> nnimap-server-opened: server="localhost"
| 2 <- nnimap-server-opened: nil
| 2 -> nnimap-open-connection: server="localhost"
| 2 <- nnimap-open-connection: nil
1 <- nnimap-open-server: nil
======================================================================
1 -> nnimap-request-close: 
1 <- nnimap-request-close: nil



| 2 -> imap-opened: buffer=" *nnimap* localhost"
| 2 <- imap-opened: nil
| | 3 -> imap-open: server="localhost" port=nil stream=nil auth=nil buffer=" *nnimap* localhost"
| | | 4 -> imap-opened: buffer=" *nnimap* localhost"
| | | 4 <- imap-opened: nil
| | | 4 -> imap-open-1: buffer=" *nnimap* localhost"
| | | | 5 -> imap-network-open: name="imap" buffer=" *nnimap* localhost" server="localhost" port=nil
| | | 4 <- imap-open-1: nil
| | 3 <- imap-open: nil


I know I'm doing something stupid, but I don't see what it is.  Can
someone give me a clue?

Best regards,
Michael
