Took me a while to sort out the fetchmail part, because my client's system doesn't actually have fetchmail installed! I was able to do a local (~) install of getmail, and tested it out by fetching and deleting all my email from the pop3 server. Then i set my mail-sources as you see below. I was trying to get gnus to use that same inbox file for all incoming email, and get nnml to call my local install of getmail to fetch all new email. This is because we're not allowed to have cron jobs. I've obviously gotten something wrong, because when nnml tries to fetch my mail, i get this in the mini-buffer: Password for at nil: Also, when i try to do gnus-group-edit-group-parameters for nnml:mail.misc, instead of giving me a nice customization buffer with fields, buttons, etc, it gives me a '*Gnus edit form*' buffer that says to type C-c C-c after i'm done. I'm obviously way off track, and don't really understand the underlying mechanics here. What do i have wrong now? --------- BEGIN SNIP --------- (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.easynews.com")) (setq mail-sources '( (file :path "/path/to/original/email/dumped/from/getmail/ inbox") (pop :program "/path/to/my/getmail") )) (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))) --------- END SNIP ---------
