I downloaded the latest version of Gnus, plugged in my old .gnus file, but it didn't quite work. When I loaded Gnus it said that the nntp server couldn't be opened (I'm using mindspring.com to connect and I'm pretty sure the server's just mindspring.com--if anyone knows otherwise let me know) but I press 'y' to continue without. Then, all my email messages were correctly downloaded, but no groups other than the ndrafts group were shown. I have my .gnus file split my mail into groups, and I checked in ~/Mail and indeed the groups are there--there's a directory for each group and messages in it. However, none are displayed. I tried doing M-x gnus-activate-all-groups but that didn't work.. I also tried doing U , for example U mail.other but it also didn't work. Can someone please help me fix this issue? My entire .gnus file is pasted below for reference. ;; Basic settings (setenv "MM_CHARSET" "iso-8859-1") (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "mindspring.com")) (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "private"))) (setq mail-sources '((file) (pop :server "mail.underlevel.net" :user "underlevel" :password "mycoolpassword"))) (setq nnmail-split-methods '(("mail.xemacs-list" "^\\([Cc][Cc]\\|To\\|Sender\\).*xemacs@xemacs.org") ("mail.emacs-list" "^\\([Cc][Cc]\\|To\\|Sender\\).*cm@emacs.org") ("mail.umlug-list" "^\\([Cc][Cc]\\|To\\|Sender\\).*um-linux@Glue.umd.edu") ("mail.emacs-mail" "^\\([Cc][Cc]\\|To\\|Sender\\).*katz@emacs.org") ("mail.rdf-list" "^\\([Cc][Cc]\\|To\\|Sender\\).*www-rdf-interest@w3.org") ("mail.other" ""))) (setq gnus-permanently-visible-groups "\\(mail.*\\)") (setq message-sendmail-f-is-evil t) ;; Fix the Sender: line (setq user-mail-address "katz@underlevel.net") (defun message-make-sender () "katz@underlevel.net") (setq mail-use-rfc822 t) (setq message-dont-reply-to-names "webmaster\\|katz") ;; Constantly check mail (setq gnus-use-demon t) (defun gnus-demon-scan-news () (when (gnus-alive-p) (save-excursion (set-buffer gnus-group-buffer) (gnus-group-get-new-news)) ) ) (defun gnus-demon-my-scan-mail () (when (and (gnus-alive-p) mail-here) (save-excursion (set-buffer gnus-group-buffer) (gnus-group-get-new-news 3) ) ) ) (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 20 5) (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-my-scan-mail 20 5) (gnus-demon-init) (setq gnus-treat-display-smileys nil) (setq gnus-local-organization "Initech") (setq gnus-visible-headers "^From:\\|^To:\\|^Newsgroups:\\|^Subject:\\|^Date:\\|^Followup-To:\\|^Organization:\\|^To:\\|^Cc:\\|^X-Newsreader:\\|^X-Mailer:") (setq user-mail-default-reply-to "webmaster@underlevel.net") (setq message-user-organization "Initech") (setq user-full-name "Jordan Katz") (setq message-cite-function 'message-cite-original-without-signature) ;; Set topics (add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-topic-mode) ;; Line formatting (setq gnus-group-line-format "%M%S%p%P%5y: %(%G %z%)\n") (setq gnus-large-newsgroup 100) ;; Old article groups ;; Old mail group (setq gnus-message-archive-group '((let ((current-archive-date-string (format-time-string "%Y-%m" (current-time)))) (concat (if (message-news-p) "news-" "mail-") current-archive-date-string)))) (setq gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups ".")
