If you are not familiar with the gmane gateway, it is a great way to read mail groups as if they were newsgroups and without any of the fuss one normally has when subscribing to mail groups. You can subscribe to gmanes' nntp service at news.gmane.org. (using a newsreader) If you want to use gnus to do it then you could susbscribe to it as a `foreign' server. get started by pressing B in a gnus group buffer, and follow the prompts. keep the default type as `nntp' then enter the server name: news.gmane.org. Once that is done you can go into the server buffer, press ENTER on the gmane server to get the active list. Then subscribe to gmane.emacs.gnus.user (This is for released versions of gnus) If you want the development version list: gmane.emacs.gnus.general (this is for the development version of gnus) If you decide to post a question you will be sent a notice from gmane the first time... reply to it, then you should be able to post. Sorry if that is all tmi .. it would be nice if you are able to get your answers here... but if not. Expert help is available on those groups. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

H... check if you can connect manually from the shell:
$ openssl s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect mail.messagingengine.com:993
Once you are connected, type the following command:
. LOGIN poenik...@operamail.com
to see if there is any problem login in. Note the initial period and the
space between it and the `LOGIN' command.

Maybe you've already posted it, and since others have mentioned how to
get more debug info.
I wonder what your .gnus.el setting are.. can you post relevant

Try to close it ('C'), then reopen it ('O'), and see what happens in the
Messages buffer.

You can get that on the gnu.emacs.help newsgroup. (on gmane: gmane.emacs.help) But rmail is not in use so much anymore You should investigate the mail/news reader bundled with emacs23 called `gnus'. It is under lively development currently. But a newer version is available with emacs24. gnus is a very capable reader and handles gmail well thru imap. You can get lots of expert help at `gnu.emacs.gnus' newsgroup. Or on gmane: gmane.emacs.gnus.users You didn't mention what web style account you have. You might get better advice if you were post more information concerning what exactly you want to do. For information on gnus. If you have texinfo installed you should be able to read all about it by doing this in emacs: C-h i (brings up info manuals) memacs g gnus Or if that seems inadequate or you do not like reading texinfo (info) manuals, you can access the gnus manual online at: http://www.gnus.org/manual.html Far as which format to use there... you might like `monolithic HTML' Which displays the manual in one very long page. That makes page searching very easy and you can search the entire manual with your browsers (C-f on most browsers) page search functions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Look at 'fetchmail'. Assuming your provider enables something like IMAP or POP then you can use fetchmail to retrieve your email to your local machine for reading within RMAIL or any other mailer. Although it is arguably better to use an IMAP based mail user agent and leave the email on your web email provider. That is what I recommend you do but I won't stop you from trying it anyway. :-) Instead of RMAIL let me recommend 'vm' if you want to read email within emacs. RMAIL uses an old format mail spool. Unless you really want to use RMAIL then you probably don't really want to use RMAIL. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryViewMail > What "web mail"?

RMAIL is an old classic email-inside-of-emacs mode. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Rmail.html#Rmail Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

emacs RMAIL -- help needed
I have been trying to get an email client which would access my web mail. I've tried kmail -- which simply does not retrieve the mail balsa -- which asks for an SMTP address (I don't have SMTP) and I am now using emacs23. Can anybody tell me how to configure RMAIL so that it accesses my mail server.
