Hi
I am not having a lot of success
If I try RMAIL I get
Counting messages...done
Getting mail from the remote server ...
movemail: Permission denied for c:/Documents and
Settings/David/Application Data/
(No new mail has arrived)
If I try gnus_no_server
it does not allow me access to the newgroups without reading 2MB of headers
If I do M-x gnus and wait fro 2Mb to download then ^ I get a
nnfolder:archive
It should say nnfolder:mail.misc
If I click on nnfolder:archive it takes me to a buffer which is
completely empty!
My .gnus.el is
(setq user-full-name "David R")

(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list `("po:angel_ov_north@tiscali.co.uk"))
(setenv "MAILHOST" "pop.tiscali.co.uk")
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list
