ssl/tls

[Morten Leander Petersen]

Hi

I just upgraded to emacs 24.1 and ran into a problem. I use gnus to
access my gmail account but when I type g to check for new mails it uses
tls instead of ssl even though I have (nnimap-stream ssl) in my .gnus
file. Also it asks for my imap-username even though .gnus contains
(imap-username "mortenlp2"). In emacs 23.x everything worked just fine.

The relevant part of my .gnus file is this:

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
             '(nnimap "gmail"
                      (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                      (imap-username "mortenlp2")
                      (nnimap-server-port 993)
                      (nnimap-stream ssl)
                      (nnir-search-engine imap)))


Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about this one, but since TLS is essentially the successor of
SSL and Emacs 24.1 supports TLS natively, the latter might be preferred
if the server supports both.

There's no `imap-username' anymore.  You could instead use
`nnimap-user', or store your credentials in ~/.authinfo (or better an
encrypted ~/.autinfo.gpg.

Thanks. I will just use TSL.
