Error: Required feature `nnimap' was not provided

[mylesenglish]

Hi,

I have recently upgraded to emacs24 and use dovecot as a local IMAP server for 2 gmail accounts and one other.

Can anyone tell me why gnus doesn't connect to my dovecot anymore?

The Server buffer shows:

 {nnimap:localhost} (error)
 {nnml:} (opened)

So I press RETURN on the localhost line and get the error:

gnus-get-function: Required feature `nnimap' was not provided

The logging doesn't appear to output a log.

Here is part of my .gnus:

;; tell gnus not to fetch mail (dovecot will serve it up)
(setq mail-sources nil)

;; we are only using email
(setq gnus-nntp-server nil
      gnus-read-active-file nil
      gnus-save-newsrc-file nil
      gnus-read-newsrc-file nil
      gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil)

(setq nnimap-inhibit-logging nil)
(setq nnimap-record-commands t)
;;(nnimap-log-command "Starting logging")
;;(setq imap-log t)
;;(require 'gnus)
;;(load "imap")
;; FETCHING EMAIL ===============================
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnimap "gmailAccOne"
		(nnimap-address "localhost")
		(nnimap-stream network)
		(nnimap-user mylesenglish)
		(nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/myles/.authinfoME")
		(nnimap-authenticator login)
		(imap-shell-program "MAIL=maildir:/home/myles/Maildir/gmailAccOne /usr/lib/dovecot/imap"))
      '(nnimap "gmailAccTwo"
	       (nnimap-address "localhost")
	       (nnimap-stream network)
	       (nnimap-user rh)
	       (nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/myles/.authinfoRH")
	       (nnimap-authenticator login)
	       (imap-shell-program "MAIL=maildir:/home/myles/Maildir/gmailAccTwo /usr/lib/dovecot/imap"))
	))


Thanks,

Myles

Eval (require 'nnimap) and see if it works.  Seems like a
load-path error.

Thanks I tried what you suggest: I deleted .newsrc* and pared down the .gnus to just one dovecot account and when I start gnus it is the (require 'nnimap) that actually triggers the error.

Without the (require 'nnimap), gnus starts without error but my imap accounts don't appear in *Server* and dovecot is not troubled with any authentication requests.

I am using Arch Linux packages but will try compiling emacs from source.

After deleting .newrc* the {nnimap:localhost} no longer shows.

What is the error, exactly?

My experiments have moved on a bit so I have started a new thread called
"using local dovecot nnimap, gnus Group shows wrong counts and mail"

(The original error message was something like "Required feature `nnimap' was not provided" but it was caused by (require 'nnimap).)
