I'm using the latest or near-latest CVS version of gnus.
I've decided to start using `nnimap' for a special-purpose newsgroup,
and I'm trying to make use of the `nnimap-authinfo-file' variable.
However, despite the fact that I have set this variable to contain the
name of a valid .netrc-type file containing the appropriate login
information for my imap server, Gnus insists on prompting me for the
user ID and password.
Is `nnimap-authinfo-file' even used within `nnimap'? If so, how do I
configure `nnimap' in order to cause it to be used for authentication?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's a server parameter and not a variable?
Did you put in the right server name? If your server definition is
(nnimap "" (nnimap-address "blarfl")), you need to put in `machine
blarfl', but if your server definition is (nnimap "foo"
(nnimap-address "blarfl")), you want `machine foo'.

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.
