Fetching Specific Groups

Fetching Specific Groups

[Volkan YAZICI]

Hi,

Is it possible to make gnus only fetch mails from groups under some
specific topic(s) at startup? When I first open gnus, I don't want it
to keep me waiting while fetching news from RSS groups (and from some
other groups with relatively low priority). Just want to see local
mailboxes at startup.


Regads.

Try setting the group levels:
(info "(gnus)Group Levels") <- type `C-x C-e' here.

I set the levels of the mail groups to 1 and of the nntp groups
to 2, and usually I start Gnus with `C-u 1 M-x gnus' in order to
fetch only new mails.  After starting up Gnus, `1 g' fetches only
new mails and `2 g' fetches new news and mails.  The default group
level is 3.  `M-x gnus-no-server' is similar to `C-u 2 M-x gnus'.

There are a couple things you can do.  If you just want local mail,
then the gnus-no-server should get that.  You can also set groups to
selected priority levels and use the priority level as an argument
when you call it.  For example 'C-u 3 gnus' will only show level 3
and lower (higher priority) groups.
