imap connection problems

[Norbert Koch]

Hi!

With the latest source (I guess :-)):

Warning: Opening nnimap server on mmlab...failed: ; Denied server
nnimap+mmlab; Opening nnimap server on mmlab...failed: ; Unable to open
server nnimap+mmlab due to: Invalid format character: `%s'

This is at least after the 'wrong type' error has been solved

This should fix it.

I don't know why force the using of openssl instead of default
tls-program though..

Thanks.  I should read all the email before fixing stuff -- I just
applied the same thing half an hour ago.  :-)

gnutls-cli works very, very differently than openssl.

It's fixed.  I forgot to make the new optional auth-sources parameters
inlined in the customization and accidentally broke the default
auth-sources value.

Norbert,

It's my screwup, sorry.  Revert to the previous version of
auth-source.el and I'll commit a fix tonight.  Or you can set
auth-sources explicitly to what it used to be, without a nil at the end
:)

I assume that'd be my patches, so I respond even though I can't say that
error rings a bell with me. Needless to say, I've used this for some
time now without problems. My configuration is a bit different:

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nnimap "imap.my.server.foo"
               (nnimap-server-port 993)
               (nnimap-stream tls)))

And I don't use ~/.authinfo.

Unless someone else has a better idea, all I can suggest is that you try
to catch an elisp backtrace when the error happens. That might give some
clues.

Imap connection problems

Hi!

Since this weekend, I get the following error when trying to connect to
my IMAP server.  It may be related to the latest patches:

Unable to open server nnimap+mmlab, go offline? (y or n)  
Unable to open server nnimap+mmlab due to: Malformed property list: (:source "~/.authinfo.gpg" :host t :protocol t nil), (nil) 
Parsing authinfo file `~/.authinfo'. 
Waiting for response from imap.mmlab.de...done 
imap: Connecting with STARTTLS...done 
imap: Connecting with STARTTLS... 


This is on

- XEmacs 21.5  (beta29) "garbanzo" 57f4dcb14ad5+ [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux, Mule) of Sun Mar 21 2010
- No Gnus v0.11 as of today

The nnimap configuration is simple:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      `((nnimap "mmlab"
              (nnimap-address "imap.mmlab.de")
              (nnimap-stream starttls)
              (nnimap-authenticator login))))

Any hints? Thanks,
norbert.
