Hi Arash,

thanks for your help.
I appreciate that very much.

1.
How do you do this? to get this line:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

2.
I fiddled around for many hours today to get gnus SMTP working
and to my own great astonishment
I just managed it some seconds before I got your email.

my gnus.el:
;; get emails
(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))))

;; Reply emails
(setq gnus-posting-styles
       '((smtpmail-smtp-service)
         (smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.posteo.de")
	(smtpmail-smtp-user "gottfried@posteo.de")
         (smtpmail-smtp-port 465)))


So I don´t need your help at the moment. But I will keep it as record, 
in case I need it.

Interestingly even I changed my /.authinfo file into /.authinfo.gpg
it worked.

I am happy,
but unfortunately it takes many hours
to set up every small step in Emacs and Gnus.

Further questions will arise...


Kind regards

Gottfried
