Gnus and IMAP on Debian?
I'd like to use Gnus (gnus_5.8.8-4 and emacs20_20.7-10.1) to
extract mail from an IMAP server. I can check my mail with
fetchmail (popclient) with no trouble, but when I try with
gnus-secondary-select-methods, as in
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.iupui.edu"))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnimap "imap1.iupui.edu"))
I'm told (in *Messages*) that:
Opening nnimap server on imap1.iupui.edu.edu...
Denied server
If I try using mail-sources instead, as I've seen in some posts
here, like this (with xxxxxxx replaced with the correct
password):
(setq mail-sources
'((imap :server "imap1.iupui.edu"
:user "mmiller3"
:password "xxxxxxxx"
)))
I get this:
nnml: Reading incoming mail from imap...
Loading imap...
Loading imap...done
imap: Connecting to imap1.iupui.edu...
Waiting for response from imap1.iupui.edu...done
imap: Connecting to imap1.iupui.edu...done
imap: Reconnecting with stream `kerberos4'...
Opening Kerberos 4 IMAP connection with `imtest -m kerberos_v4
-u %l -p %p %s'...
Opening Kerberos 4 IMAP connection with `imtest -m kerberos_v4
-u %l -p %p %s'...failed
Opening Kerberos 4 IMAP connection with `imtest -kp %s %p'...
Opening Kerberos 4 IMAP connection with `imtest -kp %s %p'...failed
imap: Reconnecting with stream `kerberos4'...failed
This looks like it is exposing a bug - a dependency on
cyrus-imapd, which contains imtest. Would someone who has used
the Debian Gnus/Emacs packages to read an IMAP server help me
sort this out before I send in a bug report?
