What are your file perms like? Maybe I'm > running RMAIL with the wrong Group/perms, and ditto for `movemail'? I'm not. I run fetchmail manually from a shell (or in daemon mode via `fetchmail -d 300` or similar). It pulls mail down into my spool and then when I fire up RMAIL it takes whatever is in the spool and puts it into it's ~/RMAIL file. I have heard you can get RMAIL to run external getting functions but I have never looked into it as I find my setup fine. I have nothing special in my ~/.emacs file for this. Only a few settings for quoting replys and my from name and email address. Sorry I can't be more help. peter
