I'm wondering if the problem is in the imapd or in Gnus. I'm running without agent support. I see the same problems on both GNU Emacs and XEmacs. The login works normally, but when I try to enter an nnimap group, I get a beep, and a split display, and the following messages in the lower buffer that's opened: (1) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) (2) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) When I look at the results of `C-h l', I see the following: Couldn't request group nnimap+doohan:INBOX: nil nil Opening nnimap server on doohan...done Opening nnimap server on doohan... The *nnimap* doohan buffer at this point, is: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen gnus-forward \*)] * 1014 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 1013] * OK [UIDVALIDITY 964202290] 32 OK [READ-WRITE] Completed * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen gnus-forward) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen gnus-forward \*)] * 1014 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 1013] * OK [UIDVALIDITY 964202290] 33 OK [READ-WRITE] Completed My own best guess is that something has been corrupted in the cyrus imapd database. But I don't know what, or how to correct it. But I'm wondering if it could be something under ~/News/ or ~/Mail/. All hints and tips appreciated. I would like to be able to read my mail again.
