Just an update: while most here seem to advise IMAP or fetch/procmail, I got
POP3 to work. It turns out I had some variables defined in .gnus / .emacs and
others defined via customize. When I fixed a few inconsistencies, it seems to
download just fine, and mail splitting works.
I have two open problems, I think:
- My topics don't show up, and I haven't figured out what file I need to copy
over from my old machine to make that work.
- Sending email doesn't work yet.
If anyone has a clue what files I need to have copied from my old machine to my
new to make it all work (except perhaps sending mail; that's a different
problem), I'd be grateful.
Since I did forget to grab .newsrc / .newsrc.eld and .newsrc-dribble, I'm
thinking of deleting the ~/Mail directory on the new machine, copying _all_ the
files from the old machine, and re-running POP3.
When this is all done, I'll have Gmail delete emails after I read them.
Thanks,
Bill
