I cannot find any "official" information about ~/.authinfo except in the Gnus/Emacs manual: `nntp-authinfo-function' in http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/NNTP.html `nnimap-authinfo-file' in http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/IMAP.html However, in my limited experience I am used to ~/.netrc as the "official" AUTHINFO file, not only for FTP: `man 5 netrc`. This is why on my machine I have ~/.authinfo -> .netrc ;-) And at least Python seems to use it even for NNTP: http://docs.python.org/library/nntplib.html Indeed offlineimap can already use the information from ~/.netrc: https://github.com/jgoerzen/offlineimap/blob/master/offlineimap/repository/IMAP.py#L112 Would this be enough? Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
