moving one 'mailbox'

moving one 'mailbox'

[Andy Eskilsson]

Hmm I have a peculiar problem.. I receive mail on host A that I want
to read on host B and reply on on host A, sort of.. (To be honest the
reply on host A is no requirement).

Sounds quite messy, and maybe impossible, but I thought: 'Hey this is
Gnus':-)

Any ideas how I can move selected articles from gnus @ host A to my
gnus @ host B? I tried using digests, but they didn't deliver the
articles in original state. (auto-fill seemed to do some work)

	/Andy

Use ange-ftp or efs and create "foreign" mail groups on the remote host,
A or B does not matter.  Then just process mark what you want to copy or
move and... copy or move.

Woah! |<00|_N355 :-) I now use ange-ftp+nndir on gnus at host b to
access my nnml at host a.. works really fine!

I said it.. nothing is impossible.. it is Gnus!

Just be careful that you do not run Gnus simultaneously on host A and
B.  If you do your mail files -- .overview for nnml, the mail files
themselves for other methods -- could become corrupted as there is
locking mechanism in effect over FTP sessions.

MMh, Ain't nndir read-only?? 

Feature idea.. some kind of remote gnus-mail reading? Humm needs more
thinking.. but it would be nice if I could in some easy way access (read
only?) my complete mail-distrib from a remote account.

Hmm soon we will invent a newsserver too..

Yeah, it is.  But whatever "native" method is used on the server is
probably read-write.  Not that it is likely, but something could get
munged that way.

Set up the FTP directories as "real" mail backends.  Or even more
simply, point <backend>-directory to the FTP directory to get the entire
heirarchy (or set this in a select method).  But, as I said, there is no
locking mechanism for FTP sessions, not one that will work reliably,
anyway.
