It depends on posteo organizes things. In general, `nnimap-user' the username used for authentication. In that case, the following should work: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; ~/.gnus file: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")) (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "posteo" (nnimap-address "posteo.de") (nnnimap-user "gottfried@posteo.de") (nnimap-authenticator login) (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnimap-server-port 993)))) ;; ~/.authinfo file: machine posteo.de login gottfried@posteo.de password YOURPASS --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Having a quick look at this site[1], I found: Setting up Posteo in an email client (whether on PC, smartphone or tablet) is different for each client, however, you will always need the following details: Server name: posteo.de Username: yourusername@posteo.net Password: Your personal password You only need to tell Gnus about the 3 lines, and that happens with the snippet above. I really can't tell if gottfried@posteo.de or gottfried@posteo.net the right username for login, but you can find that out easily.
