Please launch Emacs without your init file, and check the dynamic-library-alist. That list of DLLs especially the gnutls one should be there in the ezwinports.

Without that, nothing will work. IF it is finding older versions of DLLs, you prolly have to root through your win7 directories and at least temporarily rename those DLLs. >Is it necessary to restart w32 itself?

Is that supposed to be there? That shouldn't be a cause of any issues. You don't have to do anything to it. Add these to your .gnus.el (setq smtpmail-debug-info t) ; only to debug problems set to t if needed (setq smtpmail-debug-verb t) (setq gnus-verbose 7) (setq gnus-verbose-backends 7) Typically you should see something like this in Messages buffer. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Checking new news... gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) GnuTLS library loaded: libgnutls-28.dll gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) allocating credentials gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) setting the trustfile: c:/cygwin/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) setting the trustfile: c:/cygwin/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) gnutls callbacks gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) gnutls_init gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) got non-default priority string: NORMAL gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) setting the priority string gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) non-fatal error: Resource temporarily unavailable, try again.
