Thanks for the reply., I am on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu).
These are the things I tried.
- installed dovecot
,----
| sudo apt-get install dovecot-common dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
`----
- edited /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
,----
| mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
`----
- restarted dovecot
,----
| raghava-note:/ $ sudo service dovecot restart
| dovecot start/running, process 8639
`----
- confirm dovecot is running
,----
| raghava-note:~$ ps auwx | grep dovecot
| root 8639 0.0 0.0 17304 1316 ? Ss 17:40 0:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
| dovecot 8645 0.0 0.0 8824 896 ? S 17:40 0:00 dovecot/anvil
| root 8646 0.0 0.0 8948 1036 ? S 17:40 0:00 dovecot/log
| root 8648 0.0 0.0 11004 3116 ? S 17:40 0:00 dovecot/config
`----
followed this guide to test the installation
http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation
So far so good. (how to authenticate from client to dovecot then?)
- Gnus Setup
,----
| (setq imap-shell-program "/usr/lib/dovecot/imap")
|
| (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
| '(nnimap "localimap"
| (nnimap-address "localhost")
| (nnimap-stream shell)))
`----
- ~/.authinfo (I think this is not the way to do it)
,----
| machine localhost login SystemUserid password systemPassword port 143
`----
- Finally enter into Gnus.
I am getting following warning
,----
| Warning: Opening nnimap server on localimap...failed: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
| ; Unable to open server nnimap+localimap due to: Buffer *nnimap localhost nil *nntpd** has no process
`----
*Server* buffer
,----
| {nnfolder:archive} (opened)
| {nndraft:} (opened)
| {nnml:} (opened)
| {nnimap:yagmsc} (opened)
| {nnimap:localimap} (denied) <------------------------
| {nntp:news.gmane.org} (opened)
`----
Probably I am missing auth setup for the dovecot.
Thanks.,
