Has anyone hacked on the POP mail reading code or the sendmail
sending code so that it gives progress info? I'd like to see
"receiving 1 of 3 messages" or percent done, or something.
Cheers,

The pop3.el code does this for you...

Thanks, Wes. That sent me digging in the right direction.
Turns out I was setting nnmail-movemail-program later in my
.gnus.el file and so (I guess) Emacs movemail, not
pop3-movemail, was doing the actual POP3 I/O. All better now.

Now, Norman, maybe you can share! :-)
I'm also using POP to access my mail server but do not get progress indication
as mail is fetched. What should I be looking at and changing?
Thanx!

I have this in my .gnus.el:
;; Using POP3:
(setq nnmail-spool-file "po:nwalsh")
(setq pop3-password "mypassword")
(setq nnmail-movemail-program 'nnmail-pop3-movemail)
(setenv "MAILHOST" "mymailhost.mydomain.com")
;; Not using POP3: (using my own home-grown, compressing download system ;-)
;(setq nnmail-spool-file "~/.incoming/mail.spool")
;(if (equal system-type 'windows-nt)
; (setq nnmail-movemail-program
; "m:/emacs-19.34/bin/movemail.exe"))
And now it works.
Cheers,
norm

When I make the one simple change to gnus-movemail-program my pop access hangs.
Using standard movemail it works properly. Any ideas on how I can debug this?
