Hmm, I tried this (adding to `gnus-secondary-select-methods'), and got: Warning: Opening nnimap server on news.yhetil.org...failed: NO Mailbox doesn't exist: DOES.NOT.EXIST (0.001 + 0.000 secs).; Unable to open server nnimap+news.yhetil.org due to: make client process failed: Network is unreachable, :name, *nnimap*, :buffer, *nnimap news.yhetil.org nil *nntpd**, :host, news.yhetil.org, :service, imap, :coding, nil The "mailbox doesn't exist" thing seems to be misleading: further attempts to connect to the server just gave me "network is unreachable". I wonder if this has something to do with my tls settings? I'll set `gnutls-log-level' to 2 and try again... Nope, same error. This is on Emacs master, I'm not sure what else I can check (though I still suspect it's something to do with connection security). Eric
