So far, so good. Does nnimap still read ~/.authinfo for passwords? It used to work for me until I upgraded to Gnus v5.8.2, using 'mail-sources' to set up my IMAP source. At first, I tried to leave off the ':password' argument since it's specified in ~/.authinfo. Gnus could not log in to the IMAP server. Finally I gave up, put the ':password' argument in, and separated the mail-sources stuff into a separate file so I could lock down the permissions on it. I never found a change in the documentation to suggest that this wouldn't work any longer. -- Steven E. Harris
