Hi
After restarting emacs and gnus I received a message saying
Mail source (file) failed: (error Cannot get new mail)
But everything seems to be fine, what is the reason for this message
Thanks
Uwe Brauer

mail-sources defaults to ((file)), which means Gnus will try fetching
email from the local file system (/var/mail/LOGIN on most machines):
,----[ C-h v mail-sources RET ]
| mail-sources is a variable defined in ‘mail-source.el’.
| Its value is ((file) (imap :server "mail.koldfront.dk" :stream tls))
| Original value was ((file))
|
| Documentation:
| Where the mail backends will look for incoming mail.
| This variable is a list of mail source specifiers.
| See Info node ‘(gnus)Mail Source Specifiers’.
|
`----
It sounds to me like that is failing in your setup, somehow.
Best regards,
Adam

Emacs should not do that, I only fetch from imap and gmane news servers.
This message never popped up?
But I can access my email via imap without problems.
Very very strange..
Thanks
Uwe

I'm sure you don't think it should, yet that is the default and has been
for ages.
What is the value of mail-sources in your setup?
> This message never popped up?
Maybe you changed something, or you didn't notice it before?

Sure, why would one mail source failing make another do so?
> Very very strange..
What is strange about that?
Best regards,
Adam

Well the here comes the surprise. Solution a la MS, I restarted emacs
and the message did not show up, when I called gnus. Very odd, sorry for
the noise.
Thanks
