This must be a FAQ but I can't figure out the answer from the GNUS manual or by
searching the web via google: how does one access and read current email using
gnus and imap?
I recently had to switch from pop to imap at my institute and added the
following lines to my .gnus file (this is on a Fedora Core 2 Linux system, using
emacs
21.3.1 and gnus 5.9.0):
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(
(nnfolder "")
(nnimap ""
(nnimap-address "mail.phy.duke.edu")
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-list-pattern ("~/Mail/*"))
)
)
)
When I start up gnus, imap asks for my password and I get the usual gnus list of
groups but I don't see any group corresponding to my current mailbox. When I
type U" followed by tab to look at available groups, I don't see anything that
corresponds to my current mail that I could subscribe to (mbox, INBOX,
nnimapxxx, etc.). So how do I access my current email?
Thanks,
Henry

Aren't you forgetting this? (Bound to ^.)
