I want to have email via IMAP. I have the following in my ~/.gnu.el file: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "Work" (nnimap-address "mail.cems.uvm.edu") (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*")) (nnimap-server-port 143)))) When I start Gnus, I am asked for the username and password, which are accepted. After that, I get the following list of groups: 1100: news.announce.newusers(m) 4483: news.groups.questions 30300: gnu.emacs.gnus 9: nndoc+gnus-help:gnus-help *: nndraft:queue *: nndraft:drafts So where is my mail? I tried using "/var/spool/mail/username" instead of "INBOX" and some other variants without success. When I hit U in the groups buffer and then TAB toi show all possible groups, I see only real Usenet groups, like 0020.lang.scheme, a.a.mis.admin, a.a.mis.dedicated, a.a.mis.pittsburgh, etc, but no INBOX and no my username. Unfortunately, I cannot log in into my IMAP server using SSH to make sure the name of my mailbox is INBOX. Do I miss something or do I otherwise do things right? Thanks, Evgeny
