I've used Gnus on the then-current Debian Stable for years. As of a week or so ago, it intermittently (over half the time) fails to get or send email.
When I press 3 g, I get in the minibuffer:
Mail source (pop :server
pop.gmail.com :port 995 :user
myname@gmail.com :password ******** :stream ssl) error (POP SSL connexion failed). Continue? (yes or no)
The *Messages* buffer shows
nnml: Reading incoming mail from pop...
Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli -p 995
pop.gmail.com'...done
byte-code: Cannot get new mail
If I try to send an email, I get
Sending...
Sending via mail...
Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli -p 995
pop.gmail.com'...done
byte-code: POP SSL connexion failed
That seems odd, as my .emacs shows a line starting
Has anyone seen this? Do you have a fix? Is there an easy way to get more information about what's happening?
Thanks,
