SMTP is for sending mail. IMAP/POP3 is for receiving mail. > However, I don't have a certificate, I'd like to authenticate via > username/password. Unfortunately, smtpmail.el says: > > smtpmail-starttls-credentials is a variable defined in `smtpmail.el'. > Documentation: > Specify STARTTLS keys and certificates for servers. > This is a list of four-element list with `servername' (a string), > `port' (an integer), `key' (a filename) and `certificate' (a filename). As the doc string further says: "If you do not have a certificate/key pair, leave the `key' and `certificate' fields as `nil'. A key/certificate pair is only needed if you want to use X.509 client authenticated connections." Therefore, you'd use something like this: (setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.inf.fh-bonn-rhein-sieg.de" 587 nil nil))) (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.inf.fh-bonn-rhein-seig.de" 587 "login" "password"))) -David _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
