rgnus0.72+unix+popmail

[Andreas Kaempf]

hi all...

well i have things working on my nt box but i am not able to get my
pop mail via my sun solaris platform...

when i enter my password i get the following error:


movemail: No such file or directory for po:scc-ak...

i copied my .emacs and my .gnus over which works on the nt side but
run into this movemail error... can someone tell me what i am
lacking...

below are the parts of my .emacs and .gnus for reading pop mail...

thanks in advance for any help offered...
andreas

.emacs------

(setenv "MAILHOST" "mail.mv.net")
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.mv.net")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service "smtp")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain "sccon.com")
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t)
(load-library "smtpmail")
(setq smtpmail-code-conv-from nil)
(setq user-full-name "Andreas Kaempf")

.gnus------

;;  read pop mail 
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "private")))
(setq nnmail-spool-file "po:scc-ak")
(setq nnmail-pop-password-required t)

;; remember POP password once given at startup

(autoload 'ange-ftp-read-passwd "ange-ftp")
(autoload 'nnmail-read-passwd "nnmail")
(require 'cl)
(unless (and (boundp 'nnmail-pop-password)
	nnmail-pop-password)
(setq nnmail-pop-password
	(nnmail-read-passwd "Enter POP password: ")))

Is your movemail compiled with POP support?

I'd guess that your movemail was compiled without POP support.  Read
the comments in movemail.c to figure out what you need to do to turn
it on.
