With the latest emacs build in debian testing, I came back to this. It
100% does not work for me unless I specifically set the authinfo file
for each select method. My set up includes this:
,----
| (require 'epa-file)
| (epa-file-enable)
| (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t) ;;VERY Important
| (if (file-exists-p "~/.authinfo.gpg")
| (setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg" :host t :protocol t)))
| (setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo" :host t :protocol t))))
| (setq
| mml2015-encrypt-to-self t
| mml2015-cache-passphrase t
| mml2015-passphrase-cache-expiry 60000
| mml2015-verbose t)
|
|
|
| (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "mymail"
| (nnimap-stream tls)
| (nnimap-address "richardriley.net")
| (nnimap-expunge-on-close always)
| ;; (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.gpg")
| (nnimap-nov-is-evil nil)
| (nnir-search-engine imap)))
|
| (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
| '(nntp "motzarella"
| (nntp-address "news.eternal-september.org")
| (nntp-port-number 119)
| ;; (nntp-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.gpg")
| )
| )
`----
With the authinfo lines commented out as above I get prompted for user
id and password for the imap server.
What am I missing?
regards
