Here is my ~/.authinfo: machine localhost login gour password xxxxxxxx and snippet from .gnus: (setq mail-sources nil) (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org") gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "localhost-IMAP" (nnimap-address "localhost")) (nntp "news.iskon.hr"))) That's all and it works with dovecot server.
