Adam> What virtual server? The archive server. The manual makes it sound as if you're _defining_ a new virtual server by setting the gnus-message-archive-method variable. Adam> What is your primary server called, in your configuration? The server name (Customize calls it "address") is the same, but it has a whole bunch of options attached to configure TLS.

But how would you connect to the _same_ server with different names? Is the Gnus name not necessarily the DNS name of the machine? Adam> (I don't really know why you would want to have separate Adam> connections. It sounded on one of your earlier emails like you Adam> wanted to _avoid_ multiple connections?) Yes, but I can imagine it might be useful. The IMAP server could offer different groups/mailboxes on the plain and encrypted connections, for example. -- Ian Zimmerman gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
