Well, I got the same error message (although not agate as
server). Anyway, while byte-compiling 0.27, I got a lot of
error-messages which hasn't been there before. For instance,
find-file-noselect only has 1-2 parameters, not 3 as it's specified in
nnfolder, for instance. The error possibly causing the trouble with
connecting is located in nntp.el. While byte-compiling, I got the
error (something like) undefined function: open-network-stream. If
need be, I'll do it once more and provide the exact result.

I'm using Emacs 19.29 on OS/2. Oh, please don't make sgnus require
19.30 and upwards only. There are still some ports which haven't made
it that far yet...

While I'm here... I'm completely unsuccessful at getting POP mail to
work. What's the correct procedure? Currently I'm using poppoll to get
my email and then read the mbox-file generated with nnml. But I would
like nnmail to connect to my mailhost (trym.uio.no) and get my email
from there. Is this possible? The info-file is not very helpful
here...
