I am also reading my mails trough imap/ssl and I did not defined
imap-ssl-program myself.

If I look at its value, I have :
("openssl s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect %s:%p" 
 "openssl s_client -quiet -ssl2 -connect %s:%p" 
 "s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect %s:%p"
 "s_client -quiet -ssl2 -connect %s:%p")

IMAP over SSL

[Antoine Junod]

Hello, 

I'm a new user of gnus and i'm encountering little problem while
fetching mails via IMAP over SSL.

I'm using the following configuration:

(setq imap-ssl-program "openssl s_client -tls1 -quiet -connect %s:%p")
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnimap "mails"
               (nnimap-address "my.server.com")
               (nnimap-server-port 993)
               (nnimap-authinfo-file
                "/home/toto/.imap-authinfo")
               (nnimap-stream ssl))))

I get no error while starting gnus. But i don't get my mails.

Any help would be appreciate
Thanks a lot

When I don't set imap-ssl-program myself I get the same values as
yours. But the problem persists. Gnus load itself without complaining,
but it does not try to connect to the server to read the mails and I've
no mail topic.

Should I subscribe to my mail group? How to trace what is trying to do
gnus? (logs?)

Thanks a lot for your help

I never used gnus with mail-sources, but to have access to you imap
groups, you have to subscribe to them like the nntp groups.

After gnus start, go to the server buffer, then to your nnimap server,
RET and u for each mailbox you want to subscribe to. q twice to return
to the *Group* buffer.

(setq imap-log t) then look at *imap-log* buffer after a transaction.

Here is what i've found in the *Messages* buffer after having
launched gnus (no *imap-log* even with (setq imap-log t)):

Reading active file from mail via nnimap...
Opening nnimap server on mail...
imap: Connecting to admin.cryptyx.com...
imap: Opening SSL connection with `openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect %s:%p'...
imap: Opening SSL connection with `openssl s_client -ssl2 -connect %s:%p'...
imap: Opening SSL connection with `s_client -ssl3 -connect %s:%p'...
imap: Opening SSL connection with `s_client -ssl2 -connect %s:%p'...
imap: Opening SSL connection with `nil'...failed
imap: Connecting to admin.cryptyx.com...failed

It seems that admin.cryptyx.com does not like the way gnus is trying to
connect to him. I'll try with stunnel (as seen on other web sites). All
other suggestions will be helpful

I also connect to my imap server through ssh tunnel.

Without more detailed log, fixing your problem could be difficult. Can't
you have access to the logs of the admin.cryptyx.com ?  

I don't know details about the cryptyx system host but for e.g. a
gnu/linux, looking at /var/log/auth.log could be helpful to search for
errors.
