For the sake of the archives the solution to this is ,---- | (setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas") | (pop :server "mail.pooh.bear" | :user "winnie@pooh.bear" | :password "rhubarbandcustard"))) `---- This will then download all the system mails at the same time as the normal emails.
