reading mails with gnus ?

reading mails with gnus ?

[Charles Bouillaguet]

Hi all,

I'm desperately trying to get gnus to read my emails...

my emails are arriving in various .spool files in ~/.incoming_mail/ (split
by procmail).

I then added :
-------
(setq
 gnus-select-methods '((nnml ""))
 mail-sources '((directory :path "~/.incoming_mail/" :suffix ".spool"))
 mail-source-delete-incoming t
)

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil)
--------

to my .emacs file. Unfortunately, nothing is happening !

What did I do wrong ?

Thanks,
Charles Bouillaguet

Hi Charles

It seems to be simple. The is a typing mistake:

               ^^^^^^^
This has to be gnus-select-method (without s).

Greetings

Sven

Hi Sven and all,

Yes, I made this stupid typo. Nethertheless, after fixing it I am now
confronted with a new kind of problem : when I start gnus, it says :
"wrong type argument: symbolp, (nnml "") and doesn't start....

any hint ?

thanks,
Charles

It has to be

  (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))
