As Kai pointed out, this is tricky, but I added a large block of
nnimap server definitions that may help:
IMAP
----
IMAP is a network protocol for reading mail (or news, or ...), think
of it as a modernized NNTP. Connecting to a IMAP server is much
similar to connecting to a news server, you just specify the network
address of the server.
A server configuration in `~/.gnus' with a few IMAP servers might
look something like this:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnimap "simpleserver") ; no special configuration
; perhaps a ssh port forwarded server:
(nnimap "dolk"
(nnimap-address "localhost")
(nnimap-server-port 1430))
; a UW server running on localhost
(nnimap "barbar"
(nnimap-server-port 143)
(nnimap-address "localhost")
(nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*")))
; anonymous public cyrus server:
(nnimap "cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu"
(nnimap-authenticator anonymous)
(nnimap-list-pattern "archive.*")
(nnimap-stream network))
; a ssl server on a non-standard port:
(nnimap "vic20"
(nnimap-address "vic20.somewhere.com")
(nnimap-server-port 9930)
(nnimap-stream ssl))))
The following variables can be used to create a virtual `nnimap'
server:
