How can I do it please? What should I put in my > '.gnus.el' please? Take a look at the variable mail-sources - the default is to get it from the local machine: ,----[ C-h v mail-sources RET ] | mail-sources is a variable defined in `mail-source.el'. | Its value is ((file)) | | Documentation: | Where the mail backends will look for incoming mail. | This variable is a list of mail source specifiers. | See Info node `(gnus)Mail Source Specifiers'. `---- How did you set up your select methods? I did it by trial and error with stuff I found on the internet, not the best way but I haven't found a one-site fits all GNUs site yet. Thanks about the 'mail-source', I'm now investigating it.
