Re: Problem connecting to Gmail in Gnus

[Felix Geller]

Hi Varnit!

I'm not an expert on the issue, but the following settings work for me:

,----
| (setq imap-ssl-program-binary "d:/path/to/cygwin/bin/openssl.exe")
| (setq imap-ssl-program-arguments "s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect %s:%p")
| (setq imap-ssl-program (concat imap-ssl-program-binary
|                              " "
|                              imap-ssl-program-arguments))
| 
| (setq gnus-select-method
|       '(nnimap "gmail"
|              (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
|              (nnimap-server-port 993)
|              (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/path/to/.authinfo")
|              (nnimap-stream ssl)))
`----

Where the first two variables are just for the sake of
convenience. Furthermore I only got the SSL connection to succeed using
Cygwin's openssl.exe. There was a discussion on this [fn:1] which helped
me fix my settings.
