It's not clear in Gnus manual how to use multiple accounts in same IMAP
server. My company emails are hosted by virtual hosting server, and I
have my personal account while at the same time I need read some common
email accounts. I think it's common for many users.
I struggled for some time and found the solution.
Say nnimap address is imap.mysite.com
Two accounts: [EMAIL PROTECTED] & [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Two .authinfo files are needed to seperate the auth otherwise only the
first one with imap address imap.mysite.com is used for authentication
of both accounts.
So the setting should be:
(nnimap "one-mysite"
(nnimap-server-port 143)
(nnimap-address "imap.mysite.com")
(nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.emacs.d/.authinfo"))
(nnimap "other-mysite"
(nnimap-server-port 143)
(nnimap-address "imap.mysite.com")
(nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.emacs.d/.authinfo2"))
I think I need not bother to demonstrate two .authinfo files here.
The right location to add this is `nnimap-authinfo-file under "6.5 IMAP"
in Gnus manual, something like:
If you have more than one account under same IMAP server, you need use
one .authinfo for each account, and explicitly configure each imap
account to point to them. blah blah
