bug#8050: Gnus does not connect to my IMAP server any more |

User-agent: |
Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.0.50 (gnu/linux) |
The saga continues:
Now I'm not asked for a host name and a port any more (just realized in
the mean time that those questions were not only unexpected but even
subtler than I thought since they're not about how/where to connect (the
connection is already established at that point) but about which
password to use). Good.
- But when I'm asked for a user name there is no default, whereas earlier
my local user name was used as default (which happens to work for me on
most of the machines to which I can connect). Please use the local user
name as default in that prompt.
- Also when I'm then asked for a password, the prompt says "Password for
user foo, host bar" which is more verbose but not more clear than
"Password for foo@bar" used in earlier Gnus.
- I'm asked whether to save the password regardless of whether the
password and user names are correct or not. That's really bad.
- When I was asked whether to save my password, the cursor was not shown in
the prompt, which looked weird. Maybe it was a temporary redisplay
problem (I hit `n' mechanically pretty quickly, so maybe Emacs didn't
have time to display the cursor).
- If the connection fails (e.g. bad password or bad user name), I don't
get asked again, instead Gnus continues in offline mode.
- After refusing to save the password in authinfo.gpg, I get a message
along the lines of "auth-source-search: CREATED 1 results ...".
I don't care whether "results" is replaced by "result" when there's
only 1, but this looks like a debug message which should disappear.
Usually, I'd assume it is just a forgotten debug message, but given
the atrocious prompts I've seen in this thread, I'm a bit
more cautious.
