However, I am having problems. This is quite odd since I am using the same exact configuration files that I used previously. My first problem is that when I hit 'L' in the group buffer all I get is the following: 74: news.announce.newusers (m) 358: news.groups.questions 1641: gnu.emacs.gnus 10: nndoc+gnus-help:gnus-help *: nndraft:queue *: nndraft:drafts When I believe I should get a list of all available groups on my server. BTW, when I start Gnus for the very first time Gnus reads a list of ~6MB of groups. This in itself wouldn't be a horrible thing, since I can still subscribe to groups by using 'U' in the group summary, except I come up with another problem. At first everything seems to be working fine. I can download all headers for a particular group, and view the bodies. But when I mark all the articles read (using 'c' from the group buffer) Gnus will never find any new articles in when updating with 'g' or restarting Gnus. Here is my .gnus file: ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*- (setq user-mail-address "wbennett@kyonline.net") (setq user-full-name "Will Bennett") (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "newshost.allthenewsgroups.com")) ;; incoming mail (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml "" (nnml-directory "~/gnus-mail/") (nnml-active-file "~/gnus-mail/active"))) (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "mail.kyonline.net :user "wbennett" :password "Left Blank"))) ;; outgoing mail (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.kyonline.net") ;; auto-wrap messages (add-hook 'message-mode-hook '(lambda () (turn-on-auto-fill) (setq fill-column 70))) Is there something wrong with my configuration file or do I just have little or no idea how to use Gnus? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Will Bennett wbennettNO@SPAMkyonline.net
