Here is what I did so far: 1) installed Gnus 5.10.10 (in ~/email) 2) ~/.emacs: (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/email/lisp") load-path)) (require 'gnus-load) (require 'info) (if (featurep 'xemacs) (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "~/email/texi/") (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "~/email/texi/")) 3) ~/.gnus.el: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org")); Question 1: what can = I put here if I don't want *any* news? (setq user-mail-address "my.name@dep.uni.edu") (setq user-full-name "My Name") ;; setup IMAP accounts (setq 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "my.name@dep.uni.edu"; primary email account (nnimap-address "mail.uni.edu"); mail server address (nnimap-server-port 993); port (nnimap-authenticator login); authentication method (nnir-search-engine imap); enable searching mails (nnimap-stream ssl); use ssl (nnimap-logout-timeout 1.0); if a connection to an IMAP = server can't be closed, force close after 1s ) (nnimap "my.name@googlemail.com"; secondary email account (nnimap-address "imap.googlemail.com"); mail server address (nnimap-server-port 993); port (nnimap-authenticator login); authentication method (nnir-search-engine imap); enable searching mails (nnimap-stream ssl); use ssl (nnimap-logout-timeout 1.0); if a connection to an IMAP = server can't be closed, force close after 1s )) ) 4) ~/.authinfo machine mail.uni.edu login mylogin port 993 machine imap.googlemail.com login my.name@googlemail.com port 993 When starting Gnus via M-x gnus, I obtain: "byte-code: Error in ~/.gnus: symbolp" =3D> Question: What is wrong?
