I've added a (nnimap-server-port "8421") entry to my nnimap entry in gnus-secondary-select methods. However, when I attempt to start Gnus the connection to the imap server fails with | Warning: Unable to open server nnimap due to: Wrong type argument: string= p, nil I've tried to set nnimap-server-port to 8214 (instead of "8421") instead, but that did not work either. I've enabled "Enter Debugger on Error", but for some reason the debugger is not actually entered (I assume Gnus somehow catches the error?). I've also single stepped through the nnimap-open-connection-1 function, but it runs just fine, so the error is happening at some later point. Does anyone have a suggestion what I can do to find out where the problem is? Best, -Nikolaus --=20 GPG encrypted emails preferred.
