gnus pop destination folder

gnus pop destination folder

[yagnesh]

hello list,

I have a mail source defined for pop account like this.

,----
| (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.uni"
|                           :user "me")))
`----

Gnus fetching mails from the server and storing in "~/Mail/mail/misc". I would
like Gnus to store them to a folder named "~/Mail/uni" or "~/Mail/mail/uni"
since I intend to add another pop account (hotmail).

Another not so related question., does hotmail support IMAP.?

Thanks.,

Thank you very much for the reply,

I am aware of existence of splitting mail functionality of gnus but thought I would
use that for secondary level splitting. 

I am more of expecting/looking for a solution with movemail right now
(info "(Emacs)Movemail")

(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.uni"
                          :user me
                          :program "movemail send this source to ~/Mail/uni")  ; <---------
                     (pop :server "pop.live"
                          :user me
                          :program "movemail send this source to ~/Mail/livemail")) ; <---------
                     )

Once this is done I would start splitting mail from those. (please correct me
if that is not the way gnus work)

Another question, Manual says there is native movemail comes with GNU Emacs,
but I cant seem to find  it.

Thanks.,

If you have the Emacs sources, it's under lib-src.

gnus pop destination folder

[Yagnesh Raghava Yakkala]

hello list,

I have a mail source defined for pop account like this.

,----
| (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.uni"
|                           :user "me")))
`----

Gnus fetching mails from the server and storing in "~/Mail/mail/misc". I would
like Gnus to store them to a folder named "~/Mail/uni" or "~/Mail/mail/uni"
since I intend to add another pop account (hotmail).

Another not so related question., does hotmail support IMAP.?

Thanks.,


PS: earlier mail didn't reach the list., sending it again.

No, they're POP3 only.

Gnus fetches the mail sequentially, and splits after each source it
fetches.  So you don't need to specify anything here.
