New nnimap user having problems



Hi all.

I installed GNUS 5.8.7 and nnimap 0.131.

I can't get it to work at all.  Here is what I added to my .emacs:

(setq info-directory-list '("/usr/info" "/usr/local/info"))
(setq load-path
    (cons (expand-file-name "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus") 
          load-path))
(setq load-path
    (cons (expand-file-name "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/nnimap") 
          load-path))
(require 'nnimap)

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "mail.plumbdesign.com" (nnimap-address "mail.plumbdesign.com")))

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
	  (nnimap "mail.ischo.com"
	     (nnimap-address "mail.ischo.com")))

I want to use two IMAP accounts, and I don't actually read nntp news
using GNUS since we have no NNTP server where I work.

Here is what happens the first time I run GNUS after installing
everything and starting with no .newsrc.eld file:

* First, I start GNUS and it asks me for my user name and password
  for mail.plumbdesign.com.  Great!  I enter them.
* I get a two newsgroups listed in the GNUS *Group* buffer:

       9: nndoc+gnus-help:gnus-help
       *: nndraft:drafts
* I don't want to read these (where are my mail server groups?!?!)
  so I unsubscribe them
* Then I type A A to get a list of all groups.  I get the following
  list:

       *: INBOX
       *: INBOX/Condensity
       *: INBOX/Drafts
       *: INBOX/Ring
       *: INBOX/ScrewedUpIMAP
       *: INBOX/Trash
       *: INBOX/Unsent Messages
       *: INBOX/Work
       *: INBOX/infrastructure
       *: nndoc+gnus-help:gnus-help

Well aside from the fact that my email folder directory (INBOX) is
listed as well as the folder names, I can handle this.  Except -
mail.ischo.com, my secondary server, was never even consulted.  And,
why is the nndoc thing showing up again?  I unsubscribed it!  Oh well,
I can chalk all this up to my inexperience with GNUS.

* OK, so I want to read my new mail.  I go to the INBOX line and hit
  the space bar.  Here is what I get:

    Couldn't request group INBOX: Group INBIX selected

  Where is my list of messages for my INBOX?!?!

* Next I try another folder.  I go to the line with INBOX/Condensity and
  hit space.  I get:

    Can't request group INBOX/Condensity: Group INBOX/Condensity selected

  Same thing.

* Well, maybe I need to subscribe to these groups before I can read them?
  I go to each line and hit U.  I get:

       0: INBOX
       0: INBOX/Condensity
       0: INBOX/Drafts
       0: INBOX/Ring
       0: INBOX/ScrewedUpIMAP
       0: INBOX/Trash
       0: INBOX/Unsent Messages
       0: INBOX/Work
       0: INBOX/infrastructure
       *: nndoc+gnus-help:gnus-help

* Now I select INBOX/Condensity again.  Here is the result:

  (something flashes in the minibuffer too fast for me to see it, then:)
  Can't select group

So what am I doing wrong?  Here are the contents of my *imap-log*:

If anyone could shed some light on any of these matters, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!
