Ok i need help with emacs to setup my email.
On this site : http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail
They said to add this line... but i don't now where. A guy on the emacs for
windows mailing list helped me to setup my home folder now in my home folder
i have a directory call .emacs.d.
Where do i have to put these line:

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "gmail"
                                  (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                                  (nnimap-server-port 993)
                                  (nnimap-stream ssl)))


Thanks

I think the variable user-init-file should give you the file's name.

Ok i try to configure my GNU Emacs to read gmail email.
I saw on a web site that i have to put these line :

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "gmail"
                                  (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                                  (nnimap-server-port 993)
                                  (nnimap-stream ssl))


So I've put it in .emacs
Now I have this error

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading
`/home/sprudhom/.emacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: gnus-secondary-select-methods

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

I'm a beginner in emacs mail... can anybody help me with a low level
(rookie) langage.
Thanks

Better refer to the official docs than to some probably outdated
website.

You don't need to specify port and stream.  Gnus figures out the most
secure method automatically.

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
	     '(nnimap "Gmail"
		      (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")))

That means, that Gnus is not loaded at the time when that code got
executed, which is emacs startup time.  So put it into ~/.gnus.el
instead of ~/.emacs.

gnus-secondary-select-methods is not yet defined, when you are trying to add
the nnimap entry to its default value.

So put (require 'gnus) before the (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
...) form, or wrap the add-to-list form in (eval-after-load "gnus" (quote ...))
