Git gnus!? I'm using whatever is packaged with emacs 24.3.91.1!

I'm running nnimap for my gmails, how do you run it for a pop3
account please?

And these dratted files are still accumulating so I think that I'll
write a bash script to auto-delete them. Run from a cron job, set it
and forget it!

Thanks
Sharon.
