Hello
In the old nognus 0.11 I could save my settings including my
userid, but not the password in the
.imap-authinfo file,
like this
machine imap.gmail.com login user1@gmail.com password port 993
machine UCM login user2 password force yes
Now in the newest gnus version (via git) the information is
saved in
.authinfo.gpg [1]
however it is not possible to save the information without
the password, all the time gnus asks for *user* and
*password*
and asks to save the information, but again only *user*
_and_ *password*. It seems impossible to save *user* alone.

Footnotes:
[1] (BTW I don't understand why this file has the gpg ending, per
default it is an ASCII file.)

Just save it in the .authinfo file. I think that should work?

You can do it, just not automatically at the prompt. So let it save,
then edit the file and remove what you don't want.

See the EPA manual (info "epa") and the auth-source manual (info "auth")
for more information. Basically the .gpg extension will tell EPA to
encrypt the file. But you can always switch to a file name without the
.gpg extension and suffer no encryption.
