My main machine is called "london" and gets its system emails from '(setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas")'. I have a second machine functioning as a fileserver called "norwich". It is generating system emails, but how do I access them using gnus please? I've looked at the gnus manual and this seemed to fit - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "norwich" :user "boztu"))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- except its not a pop server. So I've tried this - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq mail-sources '((file :server "norwich" :path "/var/mail/boztu"))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Which doesn't seem to be read by gnus at all! Although this does work - ╭──── │(setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas") ╰──── How then can I read the emails from "norwich" using gnus on "london" please?
