And according to the manual there should be two additional lines, which I don't understand correctly: machine imap.1und1.de login myloginname force yes machine imap.web.de login mysecondloginname force yes Are they neccessary? They don't affect this problem, however. > > Can you try enabling imap-debug with (setq imap-debug t) in ~/.emacs, > and then have a look at your *imap-debug* buffer? > I did so, but I get a lot of entries that I don't understand. Are there special lines I have to look at? What a first view shows is, that 1und1 say something like "login auth", while web.de answers something like "nonauth". Perhaps an authentification issue? Can Emacs/Gnus automatically detect the auth mechanism? Thunderbird obviously can.
