I've been using VM with XEmacs for years but have decided to
revamp how I handle mail. This morning I got the Cyrus IMAP
server working and mail is being delivered to it, and I thought
it would be a good time to switch to Gnus for my client.
So, I stuck this in my .gnus:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnimap "dada"
(nnimap-address "mercury")
(nnimap-list-pattern ( "INBOX" . "*"))
(nnimap-expunge-on-close ask))))
and fired up XEmacs and Gnus 5.8.7, was prompted for a
username and password and...that's it, I can't find any
nnimap newsgroups. Name completion only shows nndrafts
under "nn*".
I set the imap-log variable and I can see the trace of
my server being connected to and logged in to, it all
seems fine, I just don't see any messages.
Probably, I just need a good swift kick to the head to
the head, but right I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
thanks,
Eddie

Use '^' to enter the server buffer, select the nnimap server and use
'u' to subscribe to your groups.
Greetings

I think for a Cyrus server the nnimap-list-pattern setting is not
needed. I've been using a Cyrus server without it for a number of
months now.

Wonderful! I'm able to browse, create new groups, and move messages
between them, I think I'm all set.
Now to get procmail working with the Cyrus server and I'll be done.
many thanks.

Here's a link:
<http://www.idg.net/crd_mail_19699.html>
I was able to get it working. As I recall, the tricky bit is getting
the delivery rule working in sendmail (presuming you use sendmail).
It's a little confusing since the delivery's actually running as the
cyrus user, and not as root or the receipient.
