Subject: Multiple gmail accounts and SMTP (again)
Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2011 21:55:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r55fqtyv.fsf@DeuxExMachina.config> (raw)
I am attempting to set up a second gmail account, and have some trouble
in getting the outgoing mail to behave nicely. Summarising, I want to
send mail from either gmail-account with "From" address set
accordingly. Below, a ramble about my attempts so far.
In setting up the IMAP part, I defined the virtual server names and used
those in authinfo to successfully differentiate between the accounts:
In .gnus.el:
(nnimap "gmail1"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-list-pattern inbox-)
)
(nnimap "gmail2"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-list-pattern inbox-)
)
And then in .authinfo:
machine gmail1 login gmail1@gmail.com password gmail1pass port 993
machine gmail2 login gmail2@gmail.com password gmail2pass port 993
This makes the IMAP work well. All good so far.
(For SMTP, I am using the emacs-wiki setup, as described here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MultipleSMTPAccounts)
I then attempted to use virtual server names for SMTP as well, i.e.:
In .gnus.el:
(setq smtp-accounts '(
(ssl "gmail1" "smtp.gmail.com" "587"
"gmail1@gmail.com" nil)
(ssl "gmail2" "smtp.gmail.com" "587"
"gmail2@gmail.com" nil)))
And in authinfo:
machine gmail1 login gmail1@gmail.com password gmail1pass port 587
machine gmail2 login gmail2@gmail.com password gmail2pass port 587
This breaks the sendmail/authinfo functionality such that I have to
enter credentials every time sending mail from either account.
If I instead replace the 2 lines above in authinfo with:
machine smtp.gmail.com login gmail1@gmail.com password gmail1pass port 587
This makes mailing from both addresses work. I /think/ the setup makes
gmail2 use gmail1's SMTP credentials to send the mail (note that I
didn't have to do any changes in .gnus.el on the gmail2 credentials),
and indeed, when it is received, the posting-styles for gmail2 is used,
but the senders mail address has been changed to gmail1, which I do not
fancy at all.
Any ideas on how to enable using either gmail as sender?
Cheers
