I recently had to switch from pop to imap at my institute and added the following lines to my .gnus file (this is on a Fedora Core 2 Linux system, using emacs 21.3.1 and gnus 5.9.0): (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '( (nnfolder "") (nnimap "" (nnimap-address "mail.phy.duke.edu") (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-list-pattern ("~/Mail/*")) ) ) ) When I start up gnus, imap asks for my password and I get the usual gnus list of groups but I don't see any group corresponding to my current mailbox. When I type U" followed by tab to look at available groups, I don't see anything that corresponds to my current mail that I could subscribe to (mbox, INBOX, nnimapxxx, etc.). So how do I access my current email? Thanks, Henry
