Hi,
I have an nnimap backend defined thus:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml "mail")
	(nnimap "myimap"
		(nnimap-address "myimap.server.address")
		(nnimap-list-patterm ("INBOX" "Mail/*"))
		(nnimap-server-port 9931)
		(nnimap-stream ssl))))

In my .authinfo file I have a line which looks like

machine myimap.server.address login xxx password xxx

yet I have to type in the username and password ever gnus session.
A search on google groups suggests that authinfo should work with the
above kind of usage (the authentication is just login), yet it doesn't
seem to (for me).  How should I go about debugging this?   

My authinfo has correct permissions, and there is another line in it
which works for another non-ssl imap server.

Paul
