Upgrading to Pgnus - no more mail gets popped..

Upgrading to Pgnus - no more mail gets popped..

[Andrew Markebo]

Hi!

I just switched to Emacs 20.4, with the default gnus (5.7) and my
virtual groups stopped working (is this normal? I think I bugreported
it).. So I decided to go pgnus..

Well reading the docs, and changing my .gnus to use mail-sources

(setq mail-sources
      '((pop :server "farpoint"
	     :user "aes"
	     :password zecret)))

There are still no popping sounds ;-)

        /andy

p.s. now comes the question, how to read the answer, guess I have to
telnet to the pop-server :-)

Some stories to tell our kids.. hey you sit today with your
imap-gooey-office-exchange readers, in my youth we had to telnet
(BINARY telnet, no ascii here.. you know 1001001) to our pop/nntp-servers..

Hm.  This looks like it should work.  Do you get any messages in the
*Messages* buffer?
