Getting Gnus to read mail (and send them) is easy, you just need a skeleton code file (like half a page of code) and input a couple of parameters like from where to fetch the mail etc. It isn't more complicated than setting that up with a piece of paper from your ISP and a Microsoft wizard - actually it is easier, since you have the whole code in front of you, so you can instantly see where to put your data, and all of it. Thing is, even though it is straightforward in "skeleton form", if you are new to Gnus you can be almost an expert on electronic mail and still don't know or be able to find the correct variables (Gnus has a lot, a lot of everything). So a file with the slots open is what you need. For nnmaildir I cannot offer one, so grep the web, but if you'd care to consider nnml, which is the most common backend (what I can tell, from speaking with people), feel free to use my file (and all the other Gnus files in that directory) - http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/gnus/mail.el > Can any one help? Yes, on this list there are several Gnus users. If you don't get help (unlikely), try gnu.emacs.gnus as well. Good luck! -- underground experts united
