If you're going to use getmail, it should be easyier to setup cron to fetch your mail every 5 minutes, tell getmail to deliver mail to a Maildir, and then tell emacs to read mail off that Maildir. Actually, that's my current setyp. One big advandage will be that we you tell gnus to fetch new mail, they will be read from your disk, and not over the network. And since emacs is single threaded, it will "hang" while fetching mail through the network. > Second: When I enter a mail group from the group buffer, all mails > currently located in the backend (and being in the right state) are > shown.

Press g (gnus-group-get-new-news) when in the *Group* buffer, or M-g (gnus-summary-rescan-group) from a specific Summary buffer. -- Fred _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
