Subject: M-x rmail results in IO error reading .newmail
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 08:53:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+Jy_pAnjBhxzeMLLub--xGQrhRNdzjact8fBv4MZ7zA0Asnbg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi

Attempting to read mail via M-x rmail produces the message

IO error reading /home/visaris/.newmail-visaris

accompanied by a beep from my PC's speaker.

Haven't experienced this before.  What error?  How to fix?  I tried
to locate files "*macs*" related to emacs, delete them and then
reinstall emacs-24.3-r6 but that did not fix anything as far as I can tell.
