I also notice that this version of gnus has added an entry in .authinfo for localhost, which was not present before. I suspect something changed in how dovecot presents the folders, and that's why I'm seeing subdirectories that weren't previously treated a imap folders.

nnimap woes after debian upgrade
Hello, yesterday I upgraded my system from debian wheezy to jessie. I'm having some difficulties getting gnus to work as before. Here is what I had configured before the upgrade: '(gnus-secondary-select-methods (quote ( (nnimap "localhost" (nnimap-stream ssl)) (nnimap "pf-tippete" (nnimap-address my\.imapserver\.it) (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnimap-expunge-on-close always) So, first problem, I couldn't access localhost anymore. A bit of fiddling led me to: ((nnimap "localhost" (nnimap-stream network)) which I suppose means there's something wrong with the dovecot ssl setup. I don't really care about that since it's all on the same machine, but what also changed is that for some reason gnus now thinks that everything in ~/Mail is an imap folder, while that was not the case. This means that is attepmting to read as imap folders also stuff that was there because a separate mail client caches my work mail in the same directory. I solved this by editing gnus-ignored-newsgroups and adding the top folder to the regex. I still get weird stuff in the tree though, including all the imap indexes and even directories with ~ at the end of the name, and I'm not sure if this is a gnus problem or something that has changed in dovecot. The second problem is that I can't access the remote server anymore, I get this error: Opening connection to my.imapserver.it via tls... Unable to open server nnimap+pf-tippete due to: Wrong type argument: stringp, my\.imapserver\.it Opening nnimap server on pf-tippete...failed: No new newsgroups I tried using the ip address and it didn't like it either. Nothing has changed on the remote server, so this is a local problem. Both the localhost and the remote server seem to work properly when I use claws-mail to access them. What else can I try?
