I tried that, but unfortunately I saw no improvement. (I added that line
to my previous gnus.el file.
At least, "U" does not show any sent folder and I am not sure I
understood the S s command.

Here I need a bit of help. I installed msmtp, but I do not know yet how
to use/configure it. Furthermore (apologies, but I am a newbie), what is
the gnus-init file? Is it another name for gnus.el? If not where should
I find/create it?
I wonder it the following would be easier: could somone who is using
gnus+gmail on Debian post me his configuration files?
At this point, imap or pop does not matter, as long as the mails also
stay on the web and I can read them via gnus.
Cheers

Yes it is.

I use smtpmail.el, not msmtp.  This works for me.

N.B.

 1. the 'gnutls-cli' program is a separate program entirely, included in
    the Debian package; gnutls-bin.

 2. this code only deals with SENDING and it lives in my ~/.emacs, not
    my ~/.gnus.  It's possible to send mail (using the function
    (message-mail)) without loading gnus.
 
 3. hope this helps.  don't give up.  it's worth it in the end.

 (setq ;; use Gnus' message mode instead of plain Mail mode
       mail-user-agent 'message-user-agent
       ;; 
       message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
       ;; display all headers (not just To: and Subject:)

What kludges, workarounds are there to sort gmail ?... by size,
by number of lines, alphabetically by subject,
alphabetically by author.

I don't know about "sorting gmail", but for sorting emails in Gnus, you
have the C-c C-s keypmap:

C-c C-s C-a	gnus-summary-sort-by-author
C-c C-s C-c	gnus-summary-sort-by-chars
C-c C-s C-d	gnus-summary-sort-by-date
C-c C-s TAB	gnus-summary-sort-by-score
C-c C-s C-l	gnus-summary-sort-by-lines
C-c C-s C-n	gnus-summary-sort-by-number
C-c C-s C-o	gnus-summary-sort-by-original
C-c C-s C-r	gnus-summary-sort-by-random
C-c C-s C-s	gnus-summary-sort-by-subject
C-c C-s C-t	gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient

Gnus and Gmail

[Lorenzo Isella]

Dear All,
I am fairly new to Emacs and I start only now to understand it is much 
more than an editor.
I am thinking about using Gnus to manage my gmail account, but I'd like 
to add I am completely new to Gnus.
I am a bit unsure about how to proceed. I am running Debian testing on 
my box
I followed the steps in the tutorial on
http://wired-news.blogspot.com/2008/01/configuration-of-gmail-on-gnusemacs_09.html
The tutorial is for Ubuntu, but it should probably work for Debian as well.
Now, these are my problems:
(1) After a some attempts, I managed to get Gnus connect to my mailbox. 
I can see for instance the last 30 mails in my inbox.
But I do not see in Gnus the same folders (inbox, sent, etc...) I have 
on gmail, though I am using Imap.
What am I doing wrong?
(2) The other trouble is that when I try sending emails, I usually get 
an smtp error and I do not know how to handle this.
I did a bit of online research on the archive and I found:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2006-02/msg00145.html
which may have something to do with my problem. BTW, my internet 
provider is libero.it, but I am not sure where this should go.
I paste below first the gnus.el file I am using and output file; I think 
they could be useful for understanding what is going on.

Many thanks

Lorenzo
