I now have this:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(
(nnml "")
(nnimap "MUN"
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-address "mail.mun.ca")
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")
(nnir-search-engine imap))
))
When I start gnus should I not be able to subscribe to MUN using 'U'?
It does not work, I see *: MUN appear in the group buffer but when i
try to open the group I get 411 no such group.
...................................
What do you see when you "open server buffer" (use "^" in gnus to do that)?
