I'm trying out a dovecot imap server, and gnus simply will not authenticate to it with what's in ~/.authinfo. It prompts me every time! The perms are correct, and it works with other imap servers. I've looked at the dovecot.conf but nothing looks strange, and I'm pretty much using the debian defaults. Anyone else seen this before? Any ideas what I might try? I'm tired of typing in my password. :-) Thanks, Jim
