It is not related to your problem but some services do not like names not ending with a correct tld. So you should use something like mail.kjonca.net instead of mail.kjonca. > gnus-secondary-select-methods ; local dovecot server > ((nnimap "" (nnimap-address "mail") (nnimap-server-port 143) > (nnimap-authenticator cram-md5) (nnimap-stream network))) I see nothing about nnimap in your trace. Do you set (setq nnimap-debug t) ? Could you check your system logs and dovecot logs ? You could find some hints
