How to add multiple email accounts inside gnus

How to add multiple email accounts inside gnus

[Zed]

Hello,

I have set up the gnus with one gmail account (as follows)

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nnimap "gmail"
	       (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")  ; it could also be imap.googlemail.com if that's your server.
	       (nnimap-server-port 993)
	       (nnimap-stream ssl)))

(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587) 
(setq sendmail-program "C:/cygwin64/usr/sbin/msmtp")

(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail)
(setq message-sendmail-extra-arguments '("-a" "gmail"))


but is it possible to add other accounts such as hotmail as well? Also,
I am not sure how to attach different accounts for different newsgroup?

I googled the question for quite a well, but by adding address of
gnus-posting-styles  only changes the signature but not the email
adress?

Thanks!

Do the same as above with the correct port, but add it to 
gnus-secondary-select-methods:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods 
               '(nnimap "hotmail"
  [...]
#+END_SRC

smtp (the sending part) is a little bit more tricky, since there 
is only one variable. You either have to (1) change 
smtpmail-smtp-server whenever you need the other, or (2) assuming 
they have the same port, add a line in the heading (just like you 
do with "Subject" and "To") with "X-SMTP-Server: 
whatever-the-smtp-address-for-hotmail-is".

You could also make Gmail be able to post from the other service, 
in gmail go to "Settings", then "Accounts and Import", then "Send 
mail as". If you do that, then you only need to change the "From" 
heading, so that it has you hotmail address, Gmail then sends it 
with the correct address. This is the method that I use, but I 
cannot confirm that it works with hotmail.

You shouldn't have to change that.

I don't know what that does. I use gmail and do not need it.

I suppose you mean different servers for news. Same as above, 
add-to-list in gnus-secondary-select-methods.

Best,

Sending mail:

(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-smtpmail-send-it)

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
	 (address "me@server1.com")
	 ("X-Message-SMTP-Method" "smtp smtp.server1.com 587"))
	("nnml:some-group"
	 (address "me@server2.com")
	 ("X-Message-SMTP-Method" "smtp smtp.server2.com 587"))))

This will add correct (internal) header when replying automatically, but
to use this when composing new message you have to go to the appropriate
group's line in Group buffer and type `C-u m' - this way this group's
posting style will be used.

For receiving my setup is a bit unusual - I download all email from imap
server.

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")))

(setq mail-sources '((imap :server "imap.server1.com"
			   :user "me@server1.com" 
			   :stream tls)
		     (imap :server "imap.servers2.com" 
		     	   :user "me@server2.com"
		     	   :stream tls)))

~/.authinfo:

machine imap.server1.com login me@server1.com password secret1
machine imap.server2.com login me@server2.com password secret2
