I tried using webmail to get mail from hotmail and my-deja accounts, but their html changed on a regular schedule, it seemed, and kept breaking webmail. ShengHuo Zhu suggested using a yahoo pop account, which has worked wonderfully well. ,----[ ~/.gnus ] | (setq mail-sources | '((file :path "/var/spool/mail/billw") | (pop :server "pop.mail.yahoo.com" | :user "myusername" | :password "mypassword" | :dontexpunge nil))) `---- If you're behind a firewall, you'll need zsh's firewall.el: ,----[ ~/.gnus ] | ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; | ;; | ;; setup zsh's firewall.el | | (add-to-list 'load-path "/mnt/disk2/billw/emacs/emacs-lisp/shenghuo-zhu") | (require 'firewall) | | ; First, you need setup | (setq firewall-gateway-host "proxy") | (setq firewall-gateway-port 8080) | (ad-activate 'open-network-stream) | ;;; 4. http | (setq firewall-gateway-function-list | '(firewall-gateway-send-connect | firewall-gateway-wait-http)) | | (defun firewall-gateway-wait-http (proc host service) | (firewall-wait-for-string "HTTP.* 200 .*\r*\n\r*\n" proc) | (delete-region (point-min) (point)) | nil) `---- Cheers - bw -- Bill White . billw@wolfram.com . http://members.wri.com/billw
