I started setting up pine, but I don't really like that too much either, I keep using emacs key bindings and getting in a muddle. When I was setting up pine I noticed that emacs can read mail too. :) I have spent a couple of weeks looking through these groups and looking through the manual and searching the internet to try to figure out how to set it up. So far I have not been able to open my emails. It looks like it should be straight forward.... I used the following to try to access my mail through imap, then tried the 2nd to retrieve mail from my gmail account (pop is setup in gmail) I have also tried similar other things that haven't worked and I have deleted (setq gnus-secondary-select-method '((nnimap "" (nnimap-address "myimapmail.warwick.ac.uk") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl) ))) (eval-after-load "mail-source" '(require 'pop3)) (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.googlemail.com" :port 995 :user "davidcollins001" :connection ssl :leave t))) Please can some one point me in the correct direction, I don't know what I am doing wrong?? Thanks
