Subject: Can't get gnus to read mail :-(
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 1996 11:23:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199608271523.LAA11807@cosmo.lehman.com> (raw)
I've read the doc and can't see what I'm not doing or doing wrong.
1. I use procmail
2. procmail deposits files in ~/Mail with a suffix of '.mail'
3. I renamed 'java.mail' to 'java.spool' for initial testing with gnus
When I startup gnus, no mail group shows up in the group buffer. I can
add it manually (G m), but it's always empty. If I do ESC g on the
amnually added entry (nnmbox:java), I get
Wrong type argument: numberp, "Server denied access"
Here's the relevant stuff from .emacs:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "newshost"))
(setq gnus-nntp-server "newshost")
(setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-hierarchically)
(setq gnus-subscribe-hierarchical-interactive t)
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)
(setq gnus-window-configuration nil)
(setq gnus-save-killed-list nil)
(setq gnus-local-domain "lehman.com")
(setq gnus-local-organization "Lehman Bros.")
(setq gnus-signature-file nil)
(setq gnus-auto-select-first nil)
(add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-highlight)
(setq gnus-activate-foreign-newsgroups 1)
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnmbox "")))
(setq nnmail-split-methods nil)
(setq nnmail-spool-file "procmail")
(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/Mail/")
(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix ".spool")
(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
(setq nnmail-tmp-directory "~/Ding")
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
jim
