Hi Chris -
I had a quick look at that web page [1]. One comment: WL has its own
folder manager for dealing with your ~/.folders file. Generally you
should use this to edit it, because this avoids simple syntax errors.
Just for the record, and for the archives. Servers, ports, usernames,
etc. can be set up in two different ways on WL. Either you can specify
them in the folder or you can set defaults. So you can either have:
(setq elmo-imap4-default-authenticate-type 'clear)
(setq elmo-imap4-default-port '993)
(setq elmo-imap4-default-server "imap.gmail.com")
(setq elmo-imap4-default-stream-type 'ssl)
(setq elmo-imap4-default-user "me")
with the folder:
%INBOX
or you can use the folder:
%INBOX:me/clear@imap.gmail.com:993!
| | | | `stream-type
| | | `port
| | `server
| `authenticate-type
`user
In my experience the best option is usually to leave the
elmo-imap4-default-* variables alone & simply use the folder
definition to set the parameters. Otherwise you are dealing with the
interaction between the folder def and the values of variables, which
I find confusing.
My second advice is to add an access group, which will be
automatically populated with all folders from your IMAP server. In
your case, with the elmo-imap4-default-* you have set up, you should
try the command:
m A %:
in your Folders buffer. If that doesn’t work, the full access group
def should be:
%:me/clear@imap.gmail.com:993!
Hope that helps.
best,
Erik Hetzner
