Mail source error

Mail source error

[Cezar Halmagean]

I get this error message when starting gnus:

Mail source (maildir :path /home/cezar/.maildir) error (user).
Continue? (yes or no)

and if I respond with 'yes' I get :

Mail source (file :path /var/mail/cezar) error (user).  Continue? (yes
or no) 


Any idea why ? I've just copied my setup from another box with all my
settings.

Regards,
Cezar

When using a bleeding edge version, please report bugs on the
development lists.

See <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/66889/>.

Mail source error

[Wu XiaoGuang]

Hi, all:
  I'm quite puzzled.
  Before this morning, gnus could get mail from yahoo! correctly.
  But now it says:

Loading pop3...done
Retrieving message 1 of 9 from pop.mail.yahoo.com...
Mail source error ((wrong-type-argument stringp nil)).  Continue? (yes or no) 

  Here is part of my "~/.gnus":
(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.mail.yahoo.com"
                          :user "username"
                          :password "secret")))
                     
  Thank you.
