What do you mean "just"? :) > I'm trying to add an IMAP account as another > gnus-secondary-select-methods. In the Gnus manual there are 121 occurences of "IMAP". This seems like a good start: 6.3.1 Connecting to an IMAP Server ---------------------------------- Connecting to an IMAP can be very easy. Type ‘B’ in the group buffer, or (if your primary interest is reading email), say something like: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "imap.gmail.com")) You’ll be prompted for a user name and password. If you grow tired of that, then add the following to your ‘~/.authinfo’ file: machine imap.gmail.com login password port imap That should basically be it for most users. -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 64 Blogomatic articles -
