In my ~/.gnus.el I have (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "gmail" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo") (nnimap-stream ssl))) and in ~/.authinfo machine imap.gmail.com login e-mail@gmail.com password psswd port 993 It's chmodded to 600, and yet, every time I start gnus it asks for my username and password. Sometimes it even asks twice! More troubling, at random times when I try to access my gmail inbox, I get the error, Wrong type argument: stringp, nil from the function nnimap-verify-uidvalidity. When this happens I curse a little, try renaming .newsrc.eld, which doesn't work, and end up waiting until, for no apparent reason, it starts working again. It makes me wonder if emacs really is run by tiny men inside my computer, I'm so baffled. Does anybody have an idea where I should look to fix this problem? --
