Yes. Well, not exactly.... I assume you keep all your mail (once it arrives) in the same place? I have just started doing this. The simplest thing is to have a different mail-sources variable at your different locations. You needn't really have two different nnml servers. Here is what I do: On my slow connection (where I only want to read personal mail), I just want to read from my personal address. (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "chevax.ecs.umass.edu" :user "jvinson" ) ) On my faster connection, I simply have both (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "chevax.ecs.umass.edu" :user "jvinson" ) (pop :server "unagi.cis.upenn.edu" :user "vinson" ) ) In either situation, all of the nnml groups appear as accessible, it just that from home, I don't get anything from my UPenn address (where I receive mailing list mail). The info node Getting Mail under Select Methods gives a more detail about all the possibilities for mail-sources. What I want to try is making my primary select-method be nnml. And make nntp a secondary method. I would like to be able to ONLY read mail while ignoring everything else. Will that completely hose my current settings? I currently do this with C-u 2 gnus-group-get-new-news. My mail groups are at level 1 or 2. -- Jack Vinson Zippy: Being a BALD HERO is almost as FESTIVE as a TATTOOED KNOCKWURST.
