Subject: configuring mail-sources
Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 09:30:06 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5.0.0.25.0.20001118090916.00a3f610@127.0.0.1> (raw)

Has anyone successfully configured mail-sources for the following situation:
logging into an ISP with a specific account name, but retrieving email for a
secondary email account that is associated with the login account.  In my
case, the primary email address (the one that is identical to the login
account name) is my wife's email address, which she reads with Outlook.
My email comes to the secondary email account (which I am currently
reading with Eudora).  In mail-sources, if I bind :user to the primary
account name it, of course, downloads my wife's email.  If I set it to
the secondary email account, I can't get no satisfaction :-).  I haven't
even found a way to get movemail to do the first half (reaching out to the
server and downloading the messages for the secondary email account,
much less the Gnus to pull the messages apart and present them to me.
There doesn't appear to be an option, as in Eudora, to login with one name
but retrieve email using another: does Gnus (5.8.7) + movemail simply not
support this at all, or am I missing something?
