Sorry, but I left out some key information:
I have the following code in my `.gnus.el' file:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(
(nnimap "piximap"
(nnimap-address "localhost")
(nnimap-expunge-on-close 'ask)
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")
)
))
(setq mail-sources
'(
(directory :path "~/Mail/Groups/" ;; From a procmail-like thing.
:suffix ".in") ;; It works just fine.
(imap :server "localhost" ;; From imap
:user "userid"
:dontexpunge t)
))
;;; Should this be here, instead? Doesn't work either way.
;;; (setq nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")
Thanks again, in advance.
