What would be the point in putting it .emacs? Sometimes you will run emacs without Gnus and so it would be a waste of memory & processing. Stick this stuff in .gnus.el where it is only used when Gnus is used. > code examples for using Gnus as the mail program rather than VM or rmail? > I think I am using rmail now but I can't figure out what's going on. > Basically I just want to use one email address for news and the other for > mail, same password for both.

It is "pulled" from the pop3 mail servers using "fetchmail". Here is some of my .gnus.el ,---- | (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "localhost")) | (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods | '((nnmaildir "MyMail" (directory "~/Mail/")))) | (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml "")) `---- The maildir directories in ~/Mail are in the standard "new, cur, temp" format : google. Fetchmail gets the mail into ~/Mail using procmail as the MDA (mail delivery agent). My .fetchmailrc looks someting like this: ,---- | set postmaster "postie" | set no bouncemail | set no spambounce | set properties "" | | # Defaults =============================================================== | # Set antispam to -1, since it is far safer to use that together with | # no bouncemail | defaults: | timeout 300 | antispam -1 | batchlimit 100 | | poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 port 995 | user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' there with password 'mypass' is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' here ssl | mda "/usr/bin/procmail"; | user 'a2gmail.com' there with password 'mypass2' is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' here ssl | mda "/usr/bin/procmail"; `---- Of course I think you will want to specify Gnus as your email client too : I'm not sure on that since "Gnus" is, well, Gnus. I just realised it wasnt set in my setup but email from my nnmaildir groups worked just fine. (mail-user-agent). I hope this is enough to get you on the right path : it can be quite daunting. Use google and best of luck! You will never go back to another email client after mastering or, in my case, trying to master gnus. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
