I think it should at least be able to use the existing gnus and/or rmail settings (they cannot be that hard to use). You can then add extra mailboxes to check specifically. What about these options: - display-time-pop3-check-rmail (nil/t, default t) - display-time-pop3-check-gnus (nil/t, default t) - display-time-pop3-mail-boxes (alist (server.passwd), default ()) With the pop3 sample code I posted some time ago, there is one serious problem: If emacs cannot connect to the pop3 server, it may hang (no user interaction) until the connect times out. That is not satisfactory! I don't know if this is relevant for your code (sorry, but I haven't had time to look at the code you sent me). --=20 Kim F.
