Hello,
I'm trying to get e-mail from my university server using gnus/imap. I
have this entry in my .gnus file:
(setq mail-sources '(
;(file :path "/var/spool/mail/ted")
(imap :server "xx.yy.zz"
:user "ted"
)
)) ;where to get mail
Mail source (imap :server mail.mun.ca :user ted) error (Selecting
deleted buffer). Continue? (yes or no)
No matter if I say yes or no to the question, mail is not fetched from
the server.
I'm running gnus 5.10.8 in GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 2.10.14) of 2007-10-29 on minnie
I guess I have something mis-configured. Any help will be much
appreciated.
Roger

You might consider using nnimap instead of degrading IMAP as if it was
POP. See (info "(gnus)IMAP").

Hm, your mail-sources look correct. So please do `M-x
toggle-debug-on-error' before starting Gnus and post the backtrace.
Bye,
Tassilo
