On one host, I want to run gnus devoid of any attempt to collect in
coming mail.
My current .gnus.el is adapted from .gnus.el that has accumulate over
a 1.5 decade stretch.
Reproduced here by stripping all comments and blank lines. Sorry it
is terribly messy, but I'm not seeing what is causing gnus to attempt
to move mail from /var/spool/mail/harry using movemail

You probably need to set the mail-sources variable to nil. It
defaults to reading from the spool file. See the Fetching Mail
section of the Gnus info docs.

Thanks, that did it.
I have to say that it seems surprising to have to set a specific nil
rather than having to set a particular method of retrieval.
I mean, gnus main claim to fame is that it is the absolute best
newsreader, bar none. It seems like it should not default to
collecting mail. But not a big deal and many thanks for the good tip.

These days it is probably surprising to default to getting your local
mail.
In ye olde days, it was less so.

I defaults to fetch local mail *only if you ask it to store email for you*
- which seems kind of sensical, no?
(Yes, I actually just tested this.)
Best regards,
Adam

OK, yup that does sound more `sensical'.

Yes, I noticed that, but it does not say to get mail, only how to
store any that comes up.

Unless you change the default value of mail-sources: No.

Yup, once again, it all makes more sense given your previous msg.
Thanks for the input and spending time testing.
