I had a big accident brought on by deep seated stupidity. Lost my whole OS and years of mail/news So starting over and find my usage of fetchmail for pop3 retreival no longer works. So turned to gnus for that chore... find it works fine but I don't see a way to run the mail thru procmail (what I've done in the past using fetchmail). I don't really want to learn all about fancy splitting unless I really have to. I have a procmail setup developed over 20 yrs use that would probably take a good while to duplicate or come close with `fancy splitting', assuming I could evenn learn how to use it. So asking first if there is some slick way to push mail thru procmail with gnus? And in case someone has the time or interest in helping, I am including the fetchmail error at the end in case any of you are fetchmail users and may recognize the problem. ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- fetchmail -vvv ... fetchmail: 6.4.8 querying pop.newsguy.com (protocol POP3) at Sun 10 Jan 2021 07:11:34 PM EST: poll started Trying to connect to 74.209.136.72/110...connected. fetchmail: POP3< +OK Qpopper (version 4.0.14) at jorel.newsguy.com starting. fetchmail: POP3> CAPA fetchmail: POP3< +OK Capability list follows fetchmail: POP3< TOP fetchmail: POP3< USER fetchmail: POP3< LOGIN-DELAY 0 fetchmail: POP3< EXPIRE NEVER fetchmail: POP3< UIDL fetchmail: POP3< RESP-CODES fetchmail: POP3< AUTH-RESP-CODE fetchmail: POP3< X-MANGLE fetchmail: POP3< X-MACRO fetchmail: POP3< X-LOCALTIME Sun, 10 Jan 2021 16:11:34 -0800 fetchmail: POP3< IMPLEMENTATION Qpopper-version-4.0.14 fetchmail: POP3< . ******** fetchmail: POP3> STLS fetchmail: fetchmail: POP3< -ERR Command not enabled Command not enabled fetchmail: pop.newsguy.com: upgrade to TLS failed. ******** fetchmail: Unknown login or authentication error on reader@pop.newsguy.com fetchmail: socket error while fetching from reader@pop.newsguy.com fetchmail: 6.4.8 querying pop.newsguy.com (protocol POP3) at Sun 10 Jan 2021 07:11:34 PM EST: poll completed Merged UID list from pop.newsguy.com: <empty> fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) fetchmail: normal termination, status ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- Looks like fetchmail asked for STLS ...

If i were you i will land on Ubuntu LTS such as 22.04, 20.04, 18.04. And
i use getmail instead of fetchmail. Plus IMAP is always right, because
that is safe from an accident, i think. Indeed, i hope things go well...
Sincerely, Gnus fan Byung-Hee
