I am running pgnus 0.95 on NT emacs 20.4.1. I have been using gnus for a while following newsgroups but now I want to start reading some mail with it (that I don't really want to be redirected from my AIX account to my Lotus Notes mail). So I read the latest manual about mail and set the following into ~/.gnus: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '( (nnml "private") )) (setq mail-sources '( (file :path "/matteau@matteau:/var/spool/mail/matteau") )) (setq nnmail-split-methods '( ("other" "") )) I then get a movemail error. The backtrace is: Signaling: (error "Cannot get new mail.") signal(error ("Cannot get new mail.")) error("Cannot get new mail.") (if (yes-or-no-p (format "Mail source error (%s). Continue? " err)) nil (error "Cannot get new mail.")) (unless (yes-or-no-p (format "Mail source error (%s). Continue? " err)) (error "Cannot get new mail.")) (condition-case err (funcall function source callback) (error (unless ... ...) 0)) (+ found (condition-case err (funcall function source callback) (error ... 0))) (let ((function ...) (found 0)) (unless function (error "%S is an invalid mail source specification" source)) (when (file-exists-p mail-source-crash-box) (message "Processing mail from %s..." mail-source-crash-box) (setq found ...)) (+ found (condition-case err ... ...))) (save-excursion (let (... ...) (unless function ...) (when ... ... ...) (+ found ...))) mail-source-fetch((file :path "/matteau@matteau:/var/spool/mail/matteau") (lambda (file orig-file) (nnmail-split-incoming file (quote nnml-save-mail) (quote nil) (nnmail-get-split-group orig-file source) (quote nnml-active-number)))) nnmail-get-new-mail(nnml nnml-save-nov "~/Mail/" nil) nnml-request-scan(nil "private") gnus-request-scan(nil (nnml "private")) gnus-read-active-file(nil nil) gnus-setup-news(nil nil nil) byte-code(" gnus-1(nil nil nil) gnus(nil) call-interactively(gnus) execute-extended-command(nil) call-interactively(execute-extended-command) If I FTP manually the content of /var/spool/mail/matteau to my NT machine and correct the mail-sources entry, it works as expected. Is this working as designed or did I found a problem? Is there another way I could approach this? Thanks P.S. If that matters, I don't want to receive SMTP mail to my NT machine as it is a portable computer that is most often not connected to the network. Rene
