Until recently, I was reading email with gnus (and
emacs) via pop, with the following entry in my .gnus
file,
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnfolder "")))
(setq nnmail-spool-file '(
(pop :server "mail.phy.duke.edu" :user "hsg")))
but my mailserver has now switched to imap and ssl for
better security.
So I am now trying to using imap as a real imap server
rather than in pop or rmail style where the mail is
downloaded to a local file and then deleted from the
mail server. I tried to do this with the following
entry:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnfolder "")(nnimap ""
(nnimap-address "mail.phy.duke.edu")
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-list-pattern ("~/Mail/*")))))
This worked (imap was able to detect my old mail groups
and connect to the mail.phy.duke.edu server) except
that I can't figure out from the gnus documentation or
from searching the web how to obtain my current email
from the imap server.
Is there a group that I have to subscribe to that
corresponds to my current email, e.g., by the name of
mbox or INBOX or something else? What do I have to do
to access my current email?
Thanks,
Henry
