In my .emacs I have something like:

(gnus-secondary-select-methods (quote ((nnimap "account1"
(nnimap-address "host1") (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "*"))))))

created with:
> M-x customize-variable
> gnus-secondary-select-methods

If the Messages log shows a successful login maybe you should „Make a
foreign group“ ("G m" in the Groups buffer).

Reading mails in Gnus

[Xue Fuqiao]

Hi,

I just started to learn Gnus.  I managed to send news/mails and get
news, but I can't read my mail.

Here's the Gnus part of my .emacs (I don't use ~/.gnus.el because I
prefer putting all stuff in my .emacs):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org"))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(setq read-mail-command 'gnus)
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "fencepost.gnu.org")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "fencepost.gnu.org"
			  :user "xfq"
			  :password "secret"
			  :port 995)))
(setq gnus-novice-user t
      gnus-expert-user nil)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

My .authinfo:
  machine fencepost.gnu.org login xfq port 587 password secret

The two "secret"s above are my passwords.

My mail settings are:

  POP3 server: fencepost.gnu.org
  POP3 port: 995
  POP3 settings: SSL/TLS
  SMTP server: fencepost.gnu.org
  SMTP port: 587
  SMTP settings: STARTTLS

And I'm using Gnus v5.13 bundled with GNU Emacs 24.3.50 (r116149
larsi@gnus.org-20140125005216-vwndukqrdbq2xv4u) on GNU/Linux.

After executing `M-x gnus', I pressed `A A' to see the complete group
list.  I only saw gmane.* and gwene.* groups, and there's no nnml*
groups.  There wasn't any error/warning message.

I have skimmed the Gnus manual and searched the web, but didn't get
anything that looked promising.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

BTW, there's a `{nnml:} (opened)' entry in the *Server* buffer, but
I saw nothing after entering it by RET.  (In fact, I have some unread mails.)

 (setq read-mail-command 'gnus) 

Does that help?

It _is_ in my init file.  I tried `M-x gnus' and `M-x
menu-bar-read-mail' but neither worked.

Finally, I solved this problem by adding ":authentication 'apop" to
`mail-sources', although I don't know what "apop" means...
