I'm now switching my POP3 connection to Gmail, and it's not working so far. I started by following the directions at http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail#toc4. On Debian Lenny with Emacs 22.1, I couldn't connect. I now moved to LMDE and Emacs 23.2.1 with Gnus 5.13. I moved my .gnus over from the Lenny machine, started Gnus, tried reading, and it said it was downloading 290 files over TLS. (In debugging things, I did that twice more; I suspect I got multiple copies of the same things, even though I had told Gmail to archive downloaded emails.) That sounded good, but I can't find the emails. I had forgotten to move over the contents of my .emacs so that topics and mail splitting would stand a chance of working. I then moved over my .emacs pretty much wholesale, changed a few things such as setting up to use Gmail's smtp servers (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail#toc2). I still don't get my old topics, I can't find the newer emails, and I'm not even sure if I see all my more recent emails I had downloaded earlier. I tried to send something using Gmail's smtp servers, but I got nothing (the error buffer came up empty). With so many problems, I'm game to try pieces one at a time. I'd like to be able to download emails reliably, have topics show up again, andm have mail splitting work. If necessary, I can even rsync my email system as it was before I did the first download from Gmail. Suggestions? Things to try? Thanks, Bill Harris
