The saga continues. I have Gnus shared between Linux and NT quite well now, except that POP seems not to work on the Linux side. (In other words, news works fine, mail does not.) I can see existing mail in my Mail folders just fine--I just can POP new mail. The relevant parts of my .emacs: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))) (setq nnmail-spool-file "po:zawodny") (setq nnmail-movemail-program 'nnmail-pop3-movemail) (setq pop3-maildrop "zawodny") (setq pop3-mailhost "houinet.hst.moc.com") (setq pop3-password "PaSsWoRd") (setq pop3-authentication-scheme 'pass) The first time that I M-x gnus, things work well until the pop stuff starts to kick in. I see the following in my *Messages* buffer: Loading pop3... Loading pop3...done And then it just sits there... forever (I left it overnight). I have to C-g to get control back. I'm running Emacs 20.3.1 on RedHat 5.1, and I even tried recompiling Emacs with the '--with-pop' option. If I quit out of Gnus and instead start with M-x gnus-no-server, I can 'g' and get it to connect to my POP server. I get a 'trace of POP session to houinet.hst.moc.com' buffer which says: +OK UCB Pop server (version 1.831beta) at houinet1 starting. Which would tell me that Gnus is never bothering to talk to my POP server after connecting. But again, it just hangs there and I have to C-g to get control back--then I can visit the trace buffer and see the above line. I have manually verified the the POP server is work as expected. I've looked through the pop3.el file that comes with Gnus 5.6.44 and see nothing odd about it. Any ideas? How can I debug this further? I've checked the Emacs and Gnus FAQs as well as the Gnus manual. Nothing spoke to me there. I've used 'describe-variable' and 'describe-function' to verify that the values are set to what I think they should be, and still no problem. Thanks for any help, Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
