I think my patience has run out trying to figure out how to configure IMAIL and stunnel to check my Gmail account. But perhaps I will torture myself a little longer by asking only for pieces rather than the completed puzzle.
Do I need to use stunnel to access Gmail? (As <URL:https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960> reports that both Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers have Requires SSL:Yes, and as no encryption is built in to IMAIL, I conclude that I do need to use stunnel. But do I, really?) Do I need to run an IMAP daemon on my computer for stunnel to connect to? (This might go to show just how damn confused I am about stunnel.) Do I need to generate a certificate to get stunnel to do its thing? Do I need to include the port (that is, ":993") in imail-default-imap-server? Do I need "@gmail.com" to finish imail-default-user-id? Does IMAIL prompt for a password? Should it? (Else, where does IMAIL get login information? I have nowhere entered my password. In which configuration file should I enter it?) If anyone who has figured this out and understands that I am asking the wrong questions to understand how this works, what are the right (or, at least, better) questions? Do my router / gateway firewall settings matter? Should they? --- Charles _______________________________________________ MIT-Scheme-users mailing list MIT-Scheme-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mit-scheme-users
