Re: Experimenting with QGnus 0.20

Note that I'm using v22, so I'm not sure if this was a change in the
info.  I don't use the agent feature, but I had no trouble finding
this by searching info for the word agent....

Here are some things you should do the first time (or so) that you use
the Agent.


   * Decide which servers should be covered by the Agent.  If you have a
     mail backend, it would probably be nonsensical to have it covered
     by the Agent.  Go to the server buffer (`^' in the group buffer)
     and press `J a' the server (or servers) that you wish to have
     covered by the Agent (*Note Server Agent Commands::).  This will
     typically be only the primary select method, which is listed on the
     bottom in the buffer.

   * Decide on download policy.  *Note Agent Categories::

   * Uhm... that's it.

So it looks like you never told it not to agentize your mail backend.
Do that and you should be OK.
