Hi,
I have a basic question. I want to have email via IMAP. I have the
following in my ~/.gnu.el file:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnimap "Work"
(nnimap-address "mail.cems.uvm.edu")
(nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))
(nnimap-server-port 143))))
When I start Gnus, I am asked for the username and password, which are
accepted. After that, I get the following list of groups:
1100: news.announce.newusers(m)
4483: news.groups.questions
30300: gnu.emacs.gnus
9: nndoc+gnus-help:gnus-help
*: nndraft:queue
*: nndraft:drafts
So where is my mail? I tried using "/var/spool/mail/username" instead
of "INBOX" and some other variants without success. When I hit U in
the groups buffer and then TAB toi show all possible groups, I see
only real Usenet groups, like 0020.lang.scheme, a.a.mis.admin,
a.a.mis.dedicated, a.a.mis.pittsburgh, etc, but no INBOX and no my
username.
Unfortunately, I cannot log in into my IMAP server using SSH to make
sure the name of my mailbox is INBOX. Do I miss something or do I
otherwise do things right?
Thanks,
Evgeny
