When I first start gnus, the connection to a local IMAP server (dovecot)
via 'shell fails. It appears that 'nnimap-stream' is set to its default
'undecided', which means it first tries to use 'ssl, leading to the
following error:
; Unable to open server nnimap+dovecot due to: dovecot/993 System error
Of course, this doesn't happen when I'm dovecot is listening on
localhost:993, but I'd rather use the tunnel method.
Here is the relevant configuration:
(setq
gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "dovecot"
(nnimap-stream shell)
(nnimap-shell-program
"/usr/lib/dovecot/imap")
(nnir-search-engine imap))))
I then go to the server buffer and close the connection, after which
opening it again works fine, although I tipically get one or more
duplicate {nnimap:dovecot} entries.
Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks for the help.

Hm... perhaps some of the groups have a buggy server definition? Look
at the definition in the groups with `G E' on the group.
