For example, > > machine imap.you.com login USER password PASSWD port imap I've been having problems with v5.8.7, too; my previous version (updated from cvs on May 10 or so) worked fine. I've now gotten things working, but I don't know why what I did should have helped. Here's what I did: I deleted the "default" line from .authinfo. I used to have machine math.washington.edu login palmieri password BLAH default login anonymous password palmieri@math.washington.edu With the latest version of gnus, it was passing "anonymous" as the username and "palmieri@math.washington.edu" as the password, and so the login was failing. Now I have machine math.washington.edu login palmieri password BLAH and it seems to work. Adding "port imap" to the first line didn't help, either. (In fact, when I did this with the old cvs version, it stopped working--it started prompting me for my username and password. Adding it to the end of the single line in my current .authinfo file doesn't seem to have any effect, good or bad.) -- John H.
