Hi,
I am using emacs 22.0.50.1 and gnus v5.11 and want to use gnus to send
mail and news. I have added the following to .gnus.el
;; Sending mail
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "mail name"
nil)))
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
It gets as far as asking me for SMTP password but then gives me an
error:
Loading gnus-topic...done
Sending...
Sending via mail...
Loading smtpmail...done
Loading mailalias...done
SMTP password for smtp.gmail.com:587:
SMTP password for smtp.gmail.com:587: .
SMTP password for smtp.gmail.com:587: ..
SMTP password for smtp.gmail.com:587: ........
smtpmail-send-it: Sending failed; SMTP protocol error
Perhaps it just doesnt work with gmail?
sincerely

I'm reporting the procedure I followed: I came to it with the thread
`Configuring gnus for gmail' on the present newsgroup: see
http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.gnus/browse_frm/thread/354ae098fe8476ac/a76bfac57a60481e?q=configuring+gnus+for+gmail&rnum=1#a76bfac57a60481e
. You need both emacs cvs and gnus cvs, and also the packages libgcrypt
and gnutls.
Cheers,
Rodolfo
;;; Mini how-to: gnus and gmail ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
I downloaded and installed emacs cvs;
from
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error
I downloaded libgpg-error-1.1.tar.gz and installed it the usual way;
from
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/
I downloaded libgcrypt-1.2.2.tar.gz and installed it the usual way;
from
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/
I downloaded gnutls-1.2.9.tar.bz2 and installed it the usual way;
from
http://cvs.m17n.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/root/gnus/lisp/pop3.el?only_with_tag=t-gnus-6_17-quimby&rev=1.6.30.21.4.16
I fetched the file pop3.el, put it in '~/' and did:
$ cd ~/gnus/lisp
$ mv pop3.el pop3.el-original
$ cp ~/pop3.el pop3.el
;
I downloaded and installed gnus cvs (?);
in .gnus.el I put the following stuff:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The following line is needed when using pop3.el from T-gnus (m17n.org).
(eval-after-load "mail-source" '(require 'pop3))
(setq user-full-name "Rodolfo Medina")
(setq user-mail-address "rodolfo.medina@gmail.com")
(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
:port 995
:user "rodolfo.medina"
:connection ssl
:leave t)))
; Sending mail
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "rodolfo.medina@gmail.com" nil)))
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)

Basically, I can see that my set up is OK. You wouldn't know if it
works on "the other" OS (WinXP)?
I'll give it another try.
Thanks!!

my gnus works fine with gmail.
besides the .gnus configuration file, the only thing you need to
do is to install gnutls-bin under linux.
i don't know how to get it work under winxp.
