Hello, Can anyone provide a minimal setup of how to get fetchmail & gnus work together?
I'm on win32 emacs 22 series(from crassuex site) with gnus 5.11 on Win XP
PRO with cygwin on c:\cygwin. I managed to make fetchmail retrieve
mails using pop3 from gmail
---
poll gmail
proto pop3
via pop.gmail.com
user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
pass 'secret1'
is 'sivaram'
nokeep
fetchall
ssl
--
the mail lands up in /var/spool/mail/sivaram
with these log messages on console
reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]@gmail-pop.l.google.com:1 of 1 (2388 octets)
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to /usr/bin/procmail -d %T#***
**************************.*********** not flushed
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Farewell.
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying gmail (protocol POP3) at Sun Jul 10 13:33:28 2005: pol
l completed
fetchmail: normal termination, status 0
Now,
1) what do I plug into gnus.el file to read this email (preferably
nnfolder)? I'd preferably like to move the emails from the spool
location to c:/Mail automatically & in nnfolder format. The info on
mail sources has completely stumped me, I got so far and then blacked out.
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnfolder ""))
(eval-after-load "mail-source" '(require 'pop3))
(eval-after-load "mail-source" '(add-to-list 'mail-sources
'(file :path "/var/spool/mail/sivaram")))
(eval-after-load "mail-source"
'(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
:user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
:port 995
:conection ssl
:leave t
:password "secret1")))
If I don't have anything in the gnus.el file but launch gnus-no-server and open
in nndoc format, I'm able to see the mails but that's not ideal, is it?
2) How do I /send/ emails via smtp.gmail.com? From googling I
u'stand, through gnus it's slightly difficult as it involves ssl/TLS
so any external setup is also fine as long it doesn't involve
sendmail! :-) I already have ssmtp on the cygwin box, as well as
openssl, if it's relevant.
Basically, how do I make gnus slurp up mails downloaded via fetchmail
in nnfolder format and also send emails without using huge programs
such as sendmail or exim.
config examples would help.

sivaram
