But I can't even start. I tried updrading to a newer pgnus -- 0.83 (I also tried 0.84, same things happen.) But, alas, my POP mail was not read. So I poked around in the manual, and I found this: (setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/spool/mail/user-name") (pop :server "pop3.mail.server" :user "user-name" :port "pop3" :password "secret"))) So I tried modifying the example values... But still, nothing happens. Gnus is _not_ getting any mail. And if I don't remove (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "private"))) I get the following error message: «Error, unknown file format! (Possibly corrupted.) And also: old mail is not displayed. If I try to enter a mail group, I just get «Trying to request a method that doesn't exist». -- thomas.skogestad@jusstud.uio.no http://home.att.net/~krosnoff/kr00041.htm http://www.opaldata.com/the_end/index.html Resemblance to a person with a real life is purely coincidental
