The tutorial in http://my.gnus.org/tutorial/Mail.html#Mail I was able to follow until then, and so far I've put in my .gnus.el the following (setq user-mail-address "usera@harelbarzilai.org") (setq user-full-name "Harel's Test Account") (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnmaildir "")) (setq smtpmail-local-domain "harelbarzilai.org") (setq smtpmail-sendto-domain "harelbarzilai.org") (setq smtpmail-debug-info t) ; only to debug problems though the internal "CCC Anyone out there who can give more info?" comment next to listing "nnmaildir" , made by the author(s) of the Tutorial has me a tad worried.. The broken link is to "See Mail Source Specifiers (Gnus)," which points at http://my.gnus.org/gnus/Mail-Source-Specifiers.html#Mail-Source-Specifiers" which doesn't exist. Perhaps I should notify the tutorial authors? In any case, the only examples they give for mail-sources are of the form, (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "frumple" :user "jrl"))) Let me preface my next and last question by saying: I must confess I've been living in a cave as far as pop servers..have just ssh'd into shell and used "Mail" or rmail since 1989..emacs fan since then (well rmail plus university's preinstalled software, plus now gmail) but never ever used outlook eudora etc, only shell or emacs commands..now my question: somewhere in its docs dreamhost tells me "mail.mydomain.com" (or in this case "mail.harelbarzilai.org") is the pop mail server..but dont' I somehow need to tell gnus to go looking at ~/Maildir/ for mail? I'm running gnus from inside emacs, of course and emacs from the shell, and the shell I'm accessing via ssh via a simple text terminal program..I know the web browser says it can't find mail.harelbarzilai.org....so pardon me if I'm confused but since dreamhost (though ways I don't know and have never needed to know) have all my incoming mail delivered to /home/username/Maildir/ also known as ~/Maildir/ , for each "user" I create for my account, don't I need to just tell gnus to go look at ~/Maildir? I think by default it looks in (and/or creates) ~/Mail/ ...how can I change this to ~/Maildir? Since the link is broken and I don't know elisp formatting I'd need the exact line to copy paste into .gnus.el instead of the above "frumple" example... Sorry if I'm missing something but I've read the my.gnus.org tutorial chapter 7 entirely though including 7.2 (and earlier portions which gave user-mail-address etc) and need this last piece to finish the set-up of .gnus.el for reading email, it seems. Wishing everyone a safe and fulfilling 2007 :-) Harel
