Mails - gnus 5.8.3 - SuSE 6.1

[Pieter Wenk]

Hello to all,

I must have some errors in my .gnus concerning the mail config.

1) M-x gnus, does launch abolutly correctly. Prior checking
   via nntp the subscribed groups, I am getting:

   Mail-source error ((error-ERR Too few arguments for the user command.)).
   Continue yes/no...

   
2) When E-Mailing it's working properly.
   
Below please find:

Well, with Gnus 5.8.3 you're supposed to use the new mail-sources
variable (and set nnmail-spool-file to nil).  The old format is only
supported for completeness.  If you look at an old Gnus info file,
you'll see that the above is wrong, though.  You were supposed to put
"po:pwenk" there if pwenk is the POP3 user name.

Now, however, there is mail-sources and it's much easier to understand
what that's supposed to do.  RTFM for details.

Thanks a lot. But this does not as yet bring me much
farer..

RTFM...what do you mean exactly with this...I assume,
something like an info file I gladly likento read.

RTFM: Read The Fine Manual.  You may substitute other F words.
Of course, the mail-sources variable is explained in the Gnus info file.
