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 -- Mahdi Osman (PhD)
