Re: [9fans] Setting up Mail in Acme on the Raspberry Pi.

[Mats Olsson <plan9.meo@gmail.com>]

Hi all!

I can't get through to any gmail account however I try but I got
through to another account but the mail was not containing anything. I
must be doing something wrong. I've tried like this:

term % acme -f /lib/font/bit/lucidasans/latin1.10.font
     (I like this font in acme)

Delete the last column so that I only have one large.

Middleclicking on NEW so I get a new window.

Then I type my message in the new window.

Type the line:
;upas/smtp -d -a -h localhost.localdomain net!smtp.spray.se
plan9.meo@gmail xxx@spray.se

Mark this line and middleclick on it to execute. To this e-mail
address (substituted with xxx) I get an error messages in Acme but an empty mail
get through. If someone could point out what I'm doing wrong I'd be very
grateful.

Kind Greetings and thanks for all the help I've been given so far,
Mats

PS I've changed all the settings in my installation of plan 9 on the
Raspberry Pi according to the way Richard Miller suggested DS
