Subject: Unpleasant catch 22
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2020 19:03:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <upknmfdv7vgt7hv6jvefeneijig3fvkutl@4ax.com> (raw)
I get an error when starting gnus and after it begins mail/news scan
... it ends in Authorization Rejected. So apparently a password not
working for on reason or another. However there is no indication of
which password. So normally I would start gnus and look in the server
buffer. However starting gnus results in news scan and the same
Authorization message... Gnus never finishes its startup.
OK, I thought, I'll start` gnus-no-server' but I'll be darned if that
doesn't go to a news scan too. ( Why would there be a scan if there
are no servers?)
(And by the way gnus is running with `debug on error' and `debug on
quit' engaged)
At least the ending during `gnus-no-server' startup is not about
Authorization but appearantly, after a very lengthy (more than 15
minutes) I finally hit Ctrl-g. No Backtrace is generated it simiply
says `quit'
I guess a couple of things are raised with this behavior but can
someone at least tell me how to get a gnus interface without any
news/mail scanning so I can do other chks?
