BTW, what backend do you use for reading mail? nnmaildir? I just tried it, but there was no difference. I use nnml for the backend, but that is the same for my other test and normal systems. Thanks for the suggestion anyways. So, Gnus is not able to read from mail spool, i.e. /var/mail/$USER, right ? Can you post your .gnus ?

The problem was that I somehow got into the agent unplugged mode, but everything started working when I figured that out. I previously posted a little more information as a response to my original post, so that should be in the archives.

I finally stumbled upon the problem, and it was not with FreeBSD (or emacs). I discovered that gnus won't check any mail when gnus-agent is in the unplugged state, even though I just use a local mailbox. I must have clicked on the menu item without noticing or know what it was. In my defense, the previous version of emacs that I had been using didn't have or didn't use agent mode, so I had never encountered it. Sorry of misleading anybody and thanks for the responses. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
