EMAIL using VM and GNU

[Mahdi Osman <m_osm@gmx.net>]

Hi, list,

Sorry to bother you with my question.

I have been trying to use GNUS and VM to send and read mails. Sending
emails went well in both agents. I have tried to read mails from my
web-based mailbox (gmx.net). Mainly I used VM and tried to configure VM to read emails from my gmx.net. I could not make progress at all as my vm can not get mails.


My configuration looks as follows:

My vm searches for mails on local disk in my home directory

(~/INBOX). My VM can find whatever is there (I copied some emails in
this directory for experimenting).


My vm can not get emails from my remote box.


I have got the following pop / IMAP setup

(setq vm-spool-files (list
		      (concat "pop.gmx.net:110:apop:"
			      (getenv "m_osm@gmx.net") ":*")
		      (concat "imap:imap.gmx.net:143:inbox:login:"
			      (getenv "m_osm@gmx.net") ":*")))
			      
Error report follows:			      
  
      Invalid argument:
	      
      "Unkown service: impa.gmx.net"
	

Then I tried the following pop setup	
			      
			      
(setq vm-spool-files
      (list
       (list "~/INBOX"
             "gmx.net:110:pass:m_osm@gmx.net:*"
             "~/INBOX.CRASH")))
			 
			
			
VM asks for password for

m_osm@gmx.net@gmx.net


My address seems to be messed up, I do not know why.

Finally it tells me that there are no new messages. THAT IS NOT TRUE.
I KNOW THAT I HAVE 10 UNREAD NEW MESSAGES IN MY MAIL BOX.


So all in all I can not access my messages from my web-based mailbox.


I am wondering if any one can help me go further in using this VM?



Thanks a lot for your time and help



Regards


Mahdi
