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
