Hi!
I'm trying to use Gnus with IMAP.
I've read Robin's HOWTO on my.gnus.org, but something doesn't work. When
I launch Gnus and type "^" to enter the server buffer, I see this:
,----
| {nnimap:192.168.1.2} (denied)
`----
My setup looks like this:
,----
| (setq
| gnus-select-method '(nntp "192.168.1.2")
| gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")
| (nnimap "192.168.1.2"
| (nnimap-address "192.168.1.2")
| (nnimap-server-port "143")
| (nnimap-authenticator "login")
| (nnimap-expunge-on-close "never")
| (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")
| (nnimap-stream "network")
| )))
| (setq imap-debug "*imap-debug*")
| (setq imap-log "*imap-log*")
| (setq nnimap-debug "*nnimap-debug*")
`----
and the logs:
,----[ *nnimap-debug* ]

The documentation says the following. How can we improve it?
`nnimap-stream'
The type of stream used to connect to your server. By default,
nnimap will detect and automatically use all of the below, with
the exception of TLS/SSL. (IMAP over TLS/SSL is being replaced by
STARTTLS, which can be automatically detected, but it's not widely
deployed yet.)
Example server specification:
(nnimap "mail.server.com"
(nnimap-stream ssl))
Please note that the value of `nnimap-stream' is a symbol!

My version of the documentation seems a bit outdated. For nnimap-stream
it says:
,----
| `nnimap-stream'
| The type of stream used to connect to your server. By default,
| nnimap will detect and automatically use all of the below, with
| the exception of SSL. (SSL is being replaced by STARTTLS, which
| can be automatically detected, but it's not widely deployed yet).
|
| * "gssapi:" Connect with GSSAPI (usually kerberos 5). Require
| the `imtest' program.
|
| * "kerberos4:" Connect with kerberos 4. Require the `imtest'
| program.
|
| * "starttls:" Connect via the STARTTLS extension (similar to
| SSL). Require the external library `starttls.el' and program
| `starttls'.
|
| * "ssl:" Connect through SSL. Require OpenSSL (the program
| `openssl') or SSLeay (`s_client').
|
| * "network:" Plain, TCP/IP network connection.
|
| The `imtest' program is shipped with Cyrus IMAPD, nnimap support
| both `imtest' version 1.5.x and version 1.6.x.
|
| For SSL connections, the OpenSSL program is available from
| `http://www.openssl.org/'. OpenSSL was formerly known as SSLeay,
| and nnimap support it too - altough the most recent versions of
| SSLeay, 0.9.x, are known to have serious bugs making it useless.
| Earlier versions, especially 0.8.x, of SSLeay are known to work.
`----
Note that the possible values are quoted (and even contain colons). This
might be confusing.

This is much better. I think the example wipes out any possible doubt.
However - as an end user who is not very familar with lisp - the "...is
a symbol!" part doesn't help much. I'd have to look up the meaning of
'symbol' in the lisp documentation, which wouldn't be a problem but I
think it's unnecessary.

Or simply hit `L' in *Group* (and `l' again to hide groups with no
unread/ticked messages). I think it's very convenient to have only the
groups displayed which contain unread or ticked messages, especially if
you have lots of groups, although that might feel a bit strange in the
beginning.

It should show the subscribed ones at startup, provided they have new
mail in them. You can customise each group (with G c) to make them
"Permanently visible".

Maybe its not showing them because they are empty? You can customise
that using the customise group option or do it in your .emacs/.gnus
using something like:
(setq gnus-permanently-visible-groups (rx(or "root" "INBOX" "FastSearch" "DevelopmentEmail.mail" )))

Gijs,
This worked, thanks.
One other question, is there a way to get gnus to show the subscribed
mailboxes at the start ?

I could be very wrong: BUT
In the gnus buffer, type ^ and get a list of servers.
Select your imap server and check if your mail boxes are
there.
Subscribe to the ones you want to see (toggle) u U).

I have recently set-up gnus to read my email via imap. Everything
seems to work fine, except I don't see my email.
Any suggestions
