I think my patience has run out trying to figure out how to configure
IMAIL and stunnel to check my Gmail account. But perhaps I will
torture myself a little longer by asking only for pieces rather than
the completed puzzle.
Do I need to use stunnel to access Gmail? (As
<URL:https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960> reports
that both Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers have Requires SSL:Yes,
and as no encryption is built in to IMAIL, I conclude that I do need
to use stunnel. But do I, really?)
Do I need to run an IMAP daemon on my computer for stunnel to connect
to? (This might go to show just how damn confused I am about
stunnel.)
Do I need to generate a certificate to get stunnel to do its thing?
Do I need to include the port (that is, ":993") in imail-default-imap-server?
Do I need "@gmail.com" to finish imail-default-user-id?
Does IMAIL prompt for a password? Should it? (Else, where does IMAIL
get login information? I have nowhere entered my password. In which
configuration file should I enter it?)
If anyone who has figured this out and understands that I am asking
the wrong questions to understand how this works, what are the right
(or, at least, better) questions?
Do my router / gateway firewall settings matter? Should they?
