I have this gnus-secondary-select-method: (nnimap "yxa" (nnimap-stream starttls) (nnimap-address "localhost") (nnimap-server-port 1430)) and a line in ~/.authinfo for this: machine localhost port 1430 login jas password foo however when I start Gnus it asks me a series of questions that confuses me. The first one is hostname, and I can chose between yxa and localhost, what does this mean? The username and password prompts are understandable (although shouldn't it read this from my .authinfo file?). The final prompt is for port and I cannot specify 1430, only '143' and 'imap' are valid choices. I just pressed enter and it worked anyway. Should I modify my gnus-secondary-select-method to avoid these prompts? If so to what? Thanks, /Simon
