I've used Gnus for some number of years, pulling email via POP3 while
leaving it on the server. I've done this from gmail for at least 5 years, I
think.
Not too long ago, I moved from Debian Wheezy to Jessie, and it stopped
working. I was busy and didn't work on it for a while, but I just tried

As I posted here some time ago, I've also had problems with gmail but using
POP3. I'm wondering if it has to do with gmail using something like OAuth2
but Gnus using something else for authentication.
Since the OP is using IMAP, it may well not be related, but I wanted to
raise the issue, just in

My environment:

I've used Gnus on the then-current Debian Stable for years. As of a week
or so ago, it intermittently (over half the time) fails to get or send
email.
When I press 3 g, I get in the minibuffer:

nndoc group. This year, I seem to have lost the recipe. Googling
didn't help, nor did IRC. I tried making an nndoc file, and it's
sitting there, but I can't copy into it or open it, apparently.
Any tips?
Thanks,

and, indeed, BBDB doesn't seem to show up in its third pane in Gnus as
it did on Windows.

ther thoughts? Any way to test to see if Gnus is succeding with
the SSL connection or to debug other parts of the connection?

If you want both capabilities, you need to define HOME in Windows to be
the same as Cygwin defines it.
Just FYI.

Thanks for the prompt, assuming I succeed in getting it going without
losing email. :-)

as easy as untarring that into site-lisp, cd'ing to that directory, and

ink the key variable to customize to make splitting work is

something in the minibuffer about starting spam-stat; is it possible
that some function is turning fancy splitting back on? Any suggestions
on where I can find that? I s

Can anyone help me?
