Subject: pop3 automatic download in gnus

Message-ID: <86hefb3421.fsf@swbell.net> (raw)

How do I set up Gnus to automatically download mail
from my pop3 account? Here is part of my .gnus:

;;--------------------------------------
 (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.houston.sbcglobal.net"))

 (add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-topic-mode)
 (add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

 (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnmbox ""))
 (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "<po>" :user "<user>" :password "<xxx>" )))

 (setq nnmail-split-methods
   '(
    ("mail.drs"   "^Sender:.*owner-drs@listserv.dartmouth.edu*")
    ("mail.grasslist" "^Sender:.*owner-GRASSLIST@*")
    ("mail.slackware" "^Delivered-To:.*slackware@*")
    ("mail.inbox" "")
  ))
;;--------------------------------------

I'm using the nnmbox backend and I can hit g and it will
download news and mail just fine, but it would be nice
if I could set it up to just check the pop server every
5 minutes or so.

I'm running FSF Emacs 21.2 on linux and Gnus 5.9.0.
Thanks!
