 No joy there.
Solved the problem by using Thunderbird. I shall continue to use
gnus for newsgroups. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

 gnus treats imap folders as newsgroups, so you have to subscribe to
 them. 

 When in the Group buffer, press ^ to access the Server buffer. Then
 enter your imap server, and subscribe to any folder that you want.
When I try to enter the imap server, the cursor is put onto the next
line. Trying e gives a beep as a SPC also does.

I've done that, but the only clue is the report that gnus is
analysing the file .imap-authinfo. Why gnus fails to open the
link with mail.messagingengine.com is a mystery. Here is the
contents of that file:

machine mail.messagingengine.com login poenikatu password * port 993

Getting mail using gnus

2011-11-09 Thread Sian Mountbatten
My gnus-init-file contains the following:

The file .imap-authinfo contains
==

When I issue the command M-x gnus in Emacs, some messages flash
by in the echo area, but I do not get any mail. Has anybody got
any ideas what I am doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
You might remember that I know very little about Emacs Lisp.
