After using Netscape Mail for a week, I realized why I switched to clients like Gnus in the first place, and tried to get Gnus running. For the record, I'm using Gnus 5.9.0 on GNU Emacs 21.2.1 for Windows (both precompiled by GNU). The following .gnus stanza opens the connection. The dotfile generator at my.gnus.org set up the basic .gnus file. ; These are your IMAP settings (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "nslocum" (nnimap-list-pattern "*/imap/*") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl) )) IMAP works fine over an insecure line (if I comment out nnimap-server-port and nnimap-stream), but it doesn't work with SSL, hence these excerpts from *Messages*: imap: Connecting to nslocum... imap: Opening SSL connection with `openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect %s:%p'... imap: Opening SSL connection with `openssl s_client -ssl2 -connect %s:%p'... imap: Opening SSL connection with `s_client -ssl3 -connect %s:%p'... imap: Opening SSL connection with `s_client -ssl2 -connect %s:%p'... imap: Opening SSL connection with `nil'...failed imap: Connecting to nslocum...failed I have the Cygwin OpenSSL installed, and the Cygwin binaries added to the PATH, such that I can type at the command prompt: Z:\>openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect nslocum:993 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN]...etc. ...and get an IMAP prompt. This means that OpenSSL is functioning, but I must not have set up the gnus/emacs OpenSSL interface properly. Is there any way of getting more verbose *Messages* so I can diagnose the problem? Thanks, Joe Barillari
