Hi, I'm currently having a problem connecting to my IMAP server using Emacs although accessing my SMTP server (which has only 1 IP address) is working fine. While trying to connect to my IMAP server using GNUtls, I get the following error: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "aol/993 Name or service not known") make-network-process(:name "*nnimap*" :buffer #<buffer *nnimap aol nil *nntpd**-338562> :host "aol" :service "993" :nowait nil) open-network-stream("*nnimap*" #<buffer *nnimap aol nil *nntpd**-338562> "aol" "993") open-gnutls-stream("*nnimap*" #<buffer *nnimap aol nil *nntpd**-338562> "aol" "993") network-stream-open-tls("*nnimap*" #<buffer *nnimap aol nil *nntpd**-338562> "aol" "993" (:type ssl :warn-unless-encrypted t :return-list t :shell-command "ssh %s imapd" :capability-command "1 CAPABILITY.\n" :always-query-capabilities t :end-of-command ".\n" :success " OK " :starttls-function #[(capabilities) "\302\303\304.\305...#)\266\203\205..\306\207" [capabilities inhibit-changing-match-data "STARTTLS" nil t string-match "1 STARTTLS.\n"] 7])) open-protocol-stream("*nnimap*" #<buffer *nnimap aol nil *nntpd**-338562> "aol" "993" :type ssl :warn-unless-encrypted t :return-list t :shell-command "ssh %s imapd" :capability-command "1 CAPABILITY.\n" :always-query-capabilities t :end-of-command ".\n" :success " OK " :starttls-function #[(capabilities) "\302\303\304.\305...#)\266\203\205..\306\207" [capabilities inhibit-changing-match-data "STARTTLS" nil t string-match "1 STARTTLS.\n"] 7]) nnimap-open-connection-1(#<buffer *nntpd*>) nnimap-open-connection(#<buffer *nntpd*>) nnimap-open-server("aol" ((nnimap-address "imap.aim.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnimap-list-pattern ("*")) (nnimap-expunge-on-close (quote never)) (nnimap-expunge nil) (imap-default-user "nyc4bos") (nnimap-username "nyc4bos") (nnimap-user "nyc4bos") (nnir-search-engine imap))) gnus-open-server((nnimap "aol" (nnimap-address "imap.aim.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnimap-list-pattern ("*")) (nnimap-expunge-on-close (quote never)) (nnimap-expunge nil) (imap-default-user "nyc4bos") (nnimap-username "nyc4bos") (nnimap-user "nyc4bos") (nnir-search-engine imap))) gnus-server-open-server("nnimap:aol") funcall-interactively(gnus-server-open-server "nnimap:aol") call-interactively(gnus-server-open-server nil nil) command-execute(gnus-server-open-server) At the exact same time I am trying to connect to my IMAP server using Emacs (GNUtls) and it fails, I am able to conect to the IMAP server from the command shell prompt: $ nslookup imap.aim.com Server: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53 Non-authoritative answer: imap.aim.com canonical name = nginx.aol.com. nginx.aol.com canonical name = nginx.mx.aol.com.aol.akadns.net.

Perhaps it's failing on one of the multiple resolved IP addresses found amd not trying the next resolved IP address that was returned (until the pool is exhausted) before giving up with the error "aol/993 Name or service not known"?
