Sending is working just fine through the compose-mail interface, but there's a problem with fetching through pop. I had some problems with not having ssl.el, which went away once I installed it. Now there are no connection problems and it looks like the whole retrieval is going just fine...except for the fact that it always says there are no messages in the inbox (even though I can see them just find in my firefox login). Here's my configuration, but there really seems to be only one example up on the net to do it so I don't know what might be wrong: (eval-after-load "mail-source" '(require 'pop3)) (setq pop3-leave-mail-on-server t) (setq pop3-debug t) (setq mail-sources `((pop :server "pop.gmail.com" :port 995 :user "myemail@gmail.com" :password ,password :connection ssl :leave t))) I do use the backquote form so that I can keep my passwords all in the same place, but really don't think that would cause any problems. Here is the pop3 debug output that comes back: +OK Gpop ready 29pf412862wrl +OK send PASS +OK Welcome. +OK 0 messages (0 bytes) . +OK . +OK Farewell. read:errno=0 so it looks like it's going through ok, but the messages aren't getting reported. I do have pop enabled on the account, not for *all* messages, but only those from *this time forward*. I send mail, it does show up (I haven't read it using firefox, just checked to see if they arrived) but isn't seen with pop. Is there some flag or hidden switch for pop3 that might help here? -- burton samograd kruhft .at. gmail kruhft.blogspot.com www.myspace.com/kruhft metashell.blogspot.com
