This is a repeat of what Kai said. Setting gnus-secondary-select-methods as he specified didn't work, as I indicated. (server buffer said "denied". Ditto for the *Message-Log* buffer) The point turns out to be that I must set (setq nnimap-authenticator 'login) since I don't have imtest installed, and without that setting, nnimap tries to use Kerberos (I guess because the server is able to use this), and fails. So it now works. The Info docs include the following description: nnimap-authenticator' The authenticator used to connect to the server. By default, nnimap will use the most secure authenticator your server is capable of. * "kerberos4:" Kerberos authentication. * "cram-md5:" Encrypted username/password via CRAM-MD5. * "login:" Plain-text username/password via LOGIN. * "anonymous:" Login as `anonymous', supplying your emailadress as password. These values should probably be changed to * kerberos4 * login etc. (i.e. no quotes and :s) Ditto for for the Info docs on nnimap-stream. Of course (describe-variable) does give the correct information. It just didn't occur to me that this was the trouble at first. Thanks for the help.
