Else, how would gnus figure out how to login on i.e. a local newsserver that uses a different user/password. > and snippet from .gnus: > > (setq mail-sources nil) > (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org") > gnus-secondary-select-methods > '((nnimap "localhost-IMAP" (nnimap-address "localhost")) > (nntp "news.iskon.hr"))) No big difference to my config. I only set the stream/authenticator to use no encryption, because the tls connection broke down several times. But even if I use exactly your config (with my name for the method) it won't logon automatically. Well, I'll try to edebug it as Reiner suggested. > That's all and it works with dovecot server. Yeah, dovecot here, too. I never tried running a local IMAP server because I thought it would be quite complex, but in fact it was easy, basically: emerge dovecot; edit a few lines in the well commented dovecot.conf, start the server. Another question about dovecot: When I used nnmaildir I indexed the mails with mairix and could do very fast searches with the nnmairix backend. Currently I use nnir's imap backend to search on the local imap server, but that takes ages for huge groups. Is there a way to teach dovecot to use a mailindexing tool to speed that up? Bye, Tassilo -- If you were somehow able to land a punch on Chuck Norris your entire arm would shatter upon impact. This is only in theory, since, come on, who in their right mind would try this? _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
