There is gazillion of different things that you may want to configure to us= e Gnus the best way (and actually many of them better be defaults). But th= e minimal setup before typing M-x gnus for the first time might look like= that, for instance: (setq user-full-name "Hashish Singh" user-mail-address "hashish0singh@gmail.com") =09 (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it message-send-mail-function send-mail-function smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com" smtpmail-stream-type 'ssl ; TLS really, was nil means STARTTLS or cl= eartext smtpmail-smtp-service "smtps") ; SMTP/TLS, was 25 =3D=3D "smtp" =09 (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "") gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "") (nnimap "0" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") (nnimap-stream ssl)) ; TLS really (nntp "g" (nntp-address "news.gmane.io")) (nntp "a" (nntp-address "nntp.aioe.org")))) =09 (setq gnus-agent-auto-agentize-methods '(nnimap nntp) gnus-agent-enable-expiration 'DISABLE) ; yep, non-standard bo= olean (add-hook 'gnus-select-article-hook #'gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article) =09 (setq gnus-message-archive-group '((cond ((string-prefix-p "nnimap+" group) group) ; to itself (t "nnimap+0:INBOX")))) ; or whatever you normally use (setq gnus-gcc-mark-as-read t) =09 ;; News hierarchies, which are really gatewayed mailing lists.

One of the first things to do after M-x gnus might be: ^ C-s :g RET RET C-s gnus.user RET u You might also be interested in gmane.emacs.help there. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIMEARYIACsWIQRSX35grYEsI2F1K7TIsPhUjufz5wUCXxTKVw0cZGFnQGdudWku b3JnAAoJEMiw+FSO5/PnxuIA/1j3JirWsm52EiCTHriZfwatTN9MS2eWkoANmBXt fJuMAQDaMpZX2vKRiXe0I+oUBBhh0QKsJHiwGusC6mnr2kPzBQ== =V19j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- --===============6354056076080735647== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline X19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX18KaW5mby1nbnVz LWVuZ2xpc2ggbWFpbGluZyBsaXN0CmluZm8tZ251cy1lbmdsaXNoQGdudS5vcmcKaHR0cHM6Ly9s aXN0cy5nbnUub3JnL21haWxtYW4vbGlzdGluZm8vaW5mby1nbnVzLWVuZ2xpc2gK --===============6354056076080735647==--
