Gawd, I thought I was never going to find those variables ...well, actually I still haven't, but I know what to look for now and it seems to work.

Sometimes emacs documentation is so vast and emacs so complex, one gets completely lost in it. > personally I use good old fetchmail to download the mail and dump it in > /var/spool/mail/glyn OK, I've set fetchmail up before when I used pine. > Good luck I'll need it. No, jes kidding ...I'm doing ok. I've finally reached the point where I no longer need to use other apps while just diddling around in emacs. I can stay in emacs for many of the things I do. But, I still have lots to learn. Again, thank you nb
