Subject: Two different IMAP accounts from one server
Date: 27 Nov 2002 21:08:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86fztmxx79.fsf@panix.com> (raw)
I have recently created a second login account with my isp, and I read
mail (from that isp) using IMAP (Gnus v5.9.0). I am wondering how to
read from two different accounts on the same server. Until now, reading
from only one account, the relevant section of my .gnus looks like:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "mail")
(nnsoup "")
(nnimap "isp"
(nnimap-address "imap.isp.com")
(nnimap-authenticator login)
)))
authorization from my .authinfo file, which has the following line:
machine imap.isp.com login mynameno1 password mypasswd
First, to retrieve mail from the second/new account, would the simplest
thing be just to add another line to .authinfo?
machine imap.isp.com login myothername password myotherpasswd
Then, I have minimal mail splitting rules in effect:
(setq nnimap-split-inbox '("INBOX"))
(setq nnimap-split-crosspost nil)
(setq nnimap-split-rule
'(("INBOX.metafont" "^Subject:.*METAFONT")
...etc...
("INBOX.private" "")))
(setq nnimap-split-predicate "UNDELETED")
If I leave this untouched, will all the mail which isn't split into
"INBOX.metafont", etc. go into one "nnimap+isp:INBOX.private" box? In
other words, mail from both accounts which doesn't match any split
criteria in one "Inbox"? This is ok, I don't need to split the two.
I hope my question is clear. Thanks for any help. I am one of those
"anybody including nonprogrammers" guys Mr. Saklad was asking about in
one of his posts...except that I have tried to figure out what I can and
asked the list for help otherwise. Thanks again, for present and past
help.
Tomasz
