No problem at all. > I can't tell if emacs is using the gnu `movemail' utility or ots own > built-in one. Check the value of the rmail-movemail-program variable. It holds the pathname of the movemail binary Emacs uses. You can customize this variable to force it use the binary of your choice. > However, I do know that it simply refuses to read ant file/directory > that I tell it to in my Rmail section of .emacs How exactly does it refuse? Does it print any error message, or it opens the file and shows an empty buffer instead? Are there any relevant messages in the '*Messages*' buffer? Regards, Sergey
