It seems that a lot of my problems with setting up gnus is related to the positioning of major items in my '.gnus.el' and associated files. I refer specifically to items like pop3, smtp, newsgroups, system mail, and gmail.
I have three gnus files, '.gnus.el' holds pop3, smtp, newsgroups, and system mail. 'gnus-testing.el' is just a holding file for various testing purposes, currently holding lots of 'setq...' functions. 'gnus-gmail.el' is specifically relating to gmail and its setup. Currently, I can successfully use pop3, smtp, and newsgroups - although I do have to highlight and evaluate its region on gnus start-up. I think that this is related to its position within the file, which may also explain why I can't access system mail as well. The relevant section of my '.gnus.el' is like this - ,---- | (setq user-mail-address "[email protected]") | (setq user-full-name "Sharon Kimble") | | (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "mail.talktalk.net" | :user "[email protected]" | :password "rhubarbandcustard" | :file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas"))) | | ;; No primary server: | (setq gnus-select-method '(list 'nnspool (london))) | (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")) | (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org")) | (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "" | (nnml-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus.d/mail") | (nnml-active-file "~/.emacs.d/gnus.d/mail/active")))) | | (setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas"))) | | (setq user-mail-address "[email protected]") | (setq user-full-name "Sharon Kimble") | | (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "mail.talktalk.net" | :user "[email protected]" | :password "rhubarbandcustard"))) | | (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.talktalk.net") | (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) | (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) | (require 'smtpmail) | | (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials "~/.authinfo") | (setq starttls-use-gnutls t | starttls-gnutls-program "gnutls-cli") `---- Why can't I access system mail from /var/mail/boudiccas? Where should the code-line be placed to ensure that it works successfully please? Where should the code-line relating to newsgroups be placed for its successful usage? This would mean that I no longer have to highlight its region and evaluate it for it to work successfully. At the moment I can use gnus, but not successfully or completely, I have to fudge things for them to work properly. I know that some chunks of code are duplicated, but this is a 'work-in-progress' and once its working properly they will be cleaned up.
