Hi,
I'm using Gnus v5.10.2 and have been playing with multiple accounts
on my IMAP server. My problem is that I've either misread the manual
or can't access multiple accounts from the same IMAP server.
If I set
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "imap.first.tld")
(nnimap "imap.first.tld")))
it obviously fails, well, it's not obvious but I guess Gnus reads
that second nnimap entry as a cut'n'paste typo and ignores it. If I
set
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "imap.first.tld")
(nnimap "imap-two"
(nnimap-address "imap.first.tld"))))
Gnus, cleverly, determines that "imap-two" is just a reworking of the
first select-method and, again, ignores the second entry. However,
having a second domain up my sleeve which is set up to have the same
entries as the first domain, if I set
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "imap.first.tld")
(nnimap "imap-two"
(nnimap-address "imap.second.tld"))))
It works. I get to login twice, can be two different users and
select folders from both accounts. Actually, it prompts me to login
to "imap.first.tld" twice but we'll assume that's a DNS lookup issue.
So, is there a neat way to say I want to login to an IMAP server to
access multiple accounts without buying a domain name per account?
Cheers,
Ian

In Gnus 5.10.3 (current CVS), you can do the following:
,----[ ~/.authinfo ]
| machine fm login some-long-login@fm.invalid
| machine bar login some-long-login@bar.invalid
`----
,----[ From `G e' buffers: ]
| ;;; Editing the select method for `nnimap+fm:INBOX'.
| (nnimap "fm"
| (nnimap-address "fastmail.fm")
| (nnimap-directory "~/Mail/var/nnimap/fm"))
|--------------------
| ;;; Editing the select method for `nnimap+bar:INBOX'.
| (nnimap "bar"
| (nnimap-address "fastmail.fm")
| (nnimap-directory "~/Mail/var/nnimap/bar"))
`----
If you don't like to try the CVS version or wait for 5.10.3, you
may use two different `nnimap-authinfo-file's.
Bye, Reiner.

Well, shame on me for staying out of touch. Time to don the old
September Gnus t-shirt and upgrade!
Cheers,
