Incomingxxx files from pop; how to get it into nnml folders

Incomingxxx files from pop; how to get it into nnml folders

[Shanks N]

For the last couple of days, there's been problems with my ISP.  As a
result, the mail downloads from pop gmail have been timed out.  I can
see that the mails downloaded till the time outs are in the
Incomingxxxx files in ~/Mail.  How do I get them into the respective
nnml folders?


regards,
shanks

(a)
If you also have the standard $MAIL inbox file defined as a mail
source:

  # no locking, so this may lead to loss of incoming mail if other
  # processes write $MAIL as well:
  cat Incoming* >> $MAIL

  ... and the, press `g' in the Group buffer.

(b)
In the Group buffer: `G D ~/Mail/ RET' and copy the relevant files to
your nnml groups (maybe respool them?).

Bye, Reiner.

I also find many Incomingxxxx files in ~/Mail. I'm not sure how they
gets created. Maybe because i let my notebook go sleep directly after
work, then at home there's no network. Thus makes `fetchmail' in
trouble. 

Anybody knows a solution for this ?

That's a feature of development gnusea. There the variable

,----[ C-h v mail-source-delete-incoming RET ]
| mail-source-delete-incoming is a variable defined in `mail-source.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| 
| Documentation:
| *If non-nil, delete incoming files after handling.
| If t, delete immediately, if nil, never delete.  If a positive number, delete
| files older than number of days.
`----

is set to nil, so you won't loose any mail due to failures in the
further processing of gnus.

Hmm, interestingly it's already t, which looks like the default
value. The Incomingxxx files aren't created upon every incoming
mail. The recent Incomingxxx file is created on 20070509.

Yeah, only development versions of gnus have it set to nil by default.

Hm, then I don't know.
