Dear list!
I want to try out gnus for reading email. Currently, I use mutt with IMAP over
ssh like this:
set tunnel="ssh -q code.cjb.net 'export MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir;
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap --exec-mail imap'"
After reading the documentation of gnus, I tried the following:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "textnews.news.cambrium.nl"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(
(nnimap "code.cjb.net"
(nnimap-stream shell)
(imap-shell-program "ssh -q code.cjb.net 'export
MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir; /usr/lib/dovecot/imap --exec-mail imap'")
)
(nnimap "test"
(nnimap-address "localhost")
(nnimap-server-port 1234)
)
)
)
While the second entry "test", works it requires:
a. a working ssh-tunnel before I start gnus
b. that the imap server is configured to listen on a port and to authenticate
c. that gnus manages (asks me about) username and password for the imap server
All of which are unnecessary in my current setup (the mutt-onliner above).
Why does not the first entry above "code.cjb.net" work? (gnus says:
{nnimap:test} (opened)
{nnimap:code.cjb.net} (denied))
