Thanks to the people who sent me mail regarding Gnus... but I guess I'm such a dunce that it'll take more than that to get me reading my mail with Gnus...
I read deeper into the info pages, followed the cookie cutter recipe, and still have no luck, so I made nnml the main select method... Here is my .gnus file: (BTW, should I put this stuff in .gnus, or .emacs, or does it matter?): ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (setq gnus-local-domain "lightcom.net") (setq gnus-user-from-line "Lars Louder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>") (setq user-mail-address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (setq gnus-local-organization "What? I'm not organized.") ;;(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "lars_mail")) (setq nnmail-split-methods '(("other" ""))) ;;that's been trimmed :D ;;(setq nnmail-spool-file "po:lars") (setq nnml-spool-file "/var/spool/mail/lars") ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; And here is the message I get: Cannot read active file from nnml server. Loading gnus-cache... Loading gnus-cache...done Looking for new newsgroups... Reading active file from lars_mail via nnml... Cannot read active file from nnml server. No new newsgroups. Checking new news... Checking new news...done No news is horrible news No more unread newsgroups I think this is a problem with movemail, as it is in /usr/local/bin or would it matter where it is?
