I have a fresh installation of Cygwin and Emacs on Windows 8 Pro, which run on
AMD A8-5500 (quadcore, 64bit). The versions are as follows:
Emacs 24.3.1
Cygwin 1.7.24
I have two problems with emacs. First, when I start it under X11, but not under
KDE, it spews a message about not being able to connect to the desktop but
comes up eventually after a while. It crashes eventually too, even if I don't
do anything with it and chews up a lot of CPU while still alive. The w32
version works better and this is my default now. However, both versions, X11
and w32, crash on sending mail through Google. This worked nicely with older
versions of Cygwin and emacs, which I used to run on Vista and Windows 7.
My .emacs settings for sending mail through Google, currently commented out,
are as follows:
;; (setq starttls-use-gnutls t)
;; (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
;; message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
;; smtpmail-starttls-credentials
;; '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil))
;; smtpmail-auth-credentials
;; (expand-file-name "~/.authinfo")
;; smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
;; smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
;; smtpmail-smtp-service 587
;; smtpmail-debug-info t)
;; (require 'smtpmail)
Should I change something here? My fetchmail gets e-mail from Google too and
this works fine. But I had to install my own version of fetchmail because the
one provided with Cygwin didn't support SSL.
