Thanks again for your time,

I have four emails, three are pop3 and one is imap. I am using nnml. This is my gnus.el part:

```
(setq mail-sources `(
		                 (pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
			                    :user "wyousef <at> fcih.net"
			                    :port 995
			                    :stream ssl)
		                 (pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
			                    :user "wyousef <at> aucegypt.edu"
			                    :port 995
			                    :stream ssl)
		                 (pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
			                    :user "wyousef <at> gwmail.gwu.edu"
			                    :port 995
			                    :stream ssl)
		                 (imap :server "mail.uvic.ca"
		       	              :user "wyousef <at> uvic.ca"
		       	              :port 993
		       	              :stream ssl
			                    )
		                 )
      gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gnus.org")
      gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))

      user-mail-address "wyousef <at> fcih.net"
      user-full-name "Waleed Yousef"
      send-mail-function		'smtpmail-send-it
      message-send-mail-function	'smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-smtp-server		"smtp.gmail.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-service             '587
)
```

Another piece of information is that I am using spacemacs, which I do not think it will make any difference as its maintainers confirmed to me that they did not change anything with gnus


Thanks so much.
