I see now in nnimap.el:nnimap-open-connection:
(let* (
[...]
(user (netrc-machine-user-or-password
"login"
list
(list server
(or nnimap-server-address
nnimap-address))
(list port)
(list "imap" "imaps" "143" "993")))
(passwd (netrc-machine-user-or-password
"password"
list
(list server
(or nnimap-server-address
nnimap-address))
(list port)
(list "imap" "imaps" "143" "993"))))
[...]
So the nnimap address is used after the server name. I didn't see that
before when I looked at the code quickly. Thanks for noting that.
Suno, sorry about that. Let me know if Gao's solution works for you
please.
Ted
