I've hacked together a Gnus backend for this which kinda works. But what it can't do now is getting new mail. (Actually, it uses the nnml function for this, but that's a kludge.) I've read nnmail-get-new-mail and I see that I seem to have to write a couple of functions that save 1 article in a given group and the like, but I'm not sure if I've overlooked something. The server knows about the command XACCEPT which puts an article into the current group. (Similar to POST but doesn't complain about duplicate message id's.) What functions do I need to implement for the backend to be able to get new mail? kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
