Subject: mail-sources on a different machine?

Hi,
I am running pgnus 0.95 on NT emacs 20.4.1. I have been using gnus for
a while following newsgroups but now I want to start reading some mail
with it (that I don't really want to be redirected from my AIX account
to my Lotus Notes mail). So I read the latest manual about mail and
set the following into ~/.gnus:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '(
(nnml "private")
))
(setq mail-sources '(
(file :path "/matteau@matteau:/var/spool/mail/matteau")
))
(setq nnmail-split-methods '(
("other" "")
))
I then get a movemail error. The backtrace is:
Signaling: (error "Cannot get new mail.")
signal(error ("Cannot get new mail."))
error("Cannot get new mail.")
(if (yes-or-no-p (format "Mail source error (%s). Continue? " err)) nil (error "Cannot get new mail."))
(unless (yes-or-no-p (format "Mail source error (%s). Continue? " err)) (error "Cannot get new mail."))
(condition-case err (funcall function source callback) (error (unless ... ...) 0))
(+ found (condition-case err (funcall function source callback) (error ... 0)))
(let ((function ...) (found 0)) (unless function (error "%S is an invalid mail source specification" source)) (when (file-exists-p mail-source-crash-box) (message "Processing mail from %s..." mail-source-crash-box) (setq found ...)) (+ found (condition-case err ... ...)))
(save-excursion (let (... ...) (unless function ...) (when ... ... ...) (+ found ...)))
mail-source-fetch((file :path "/matteau@matteau:/var/spool/mail/matteau") (lambda (file orig-file) (nnmail-split-incoming file (quote nnml-save-mail) (quote nil) (nnmail-get-split-group orig-file source) (quote nnml-active-number))))
nnmail-get-new-mail(nnml nnml-save-nov "~/Mail/" nil)
nnml-request-scan(nil "private")
gnus-request-scan(nil (nnml "private"))
gnus-read-active-file(nil nil)
gnus-setup-news(nil nil nil)
byte-code("\b\x04\x0e
gnus-1(nil nil nil)
gnus(nil)
call-interactively(gnus)
execute-extended-command(nil)
call-interactively(execute-extended-command)
If I FTP manually the content of /var/spool/mail/matteau to my NT
machine and correct the mail-sources entry, it works as expected. Is
this working as designed or did I found a problem? Is there another
way I could approach this? Thanks
P.S. If that matters, I don't want to receive SMTP mail to my NT
machine as it is a portable computer that is most often not connected
to the network.
Rene
