Message-ID: <AA799682-AE4F-4337-8140-89529F1B7CDD@math.ethz.ch> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87k47nfy0g.fsf@thinkpad.tsdh.de>
Okay, here's an update to some of the problems:
1) TAB-completion is not working (thanks to Julien Danjou who pointed out that I need Emacs 24 instead of 23.*)
2) Emacs 24 (to be more precise: Emacs-pretest-24.0.91-universal-10.6.7.dmg on http://emacsformacosx.com/builds) also clarified some of the other problems. Suddenly, Gnus is starting quite fast, both accounts (Gmail/Microsoft Exchange Server) are now checked for mails and can receive mails.
I haven't got time yet to set up how they can *send* mail (I briefly tried, it's not possilbe without an additional lisp code). If someone has done this before, I'd be happy to have some advice (especially since Tassilo pointed out that some of the references are not updated according to the fast development of Gnus).
1) For Gmail, there's a wikipage: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail
2) For a Microsoft Exchange Server, I found: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4266241/using-gnus-within-emacs-to-access-mail-from-microsoft-exchange2010
Not sure if 1) and 2) are helpful, though. I'll try.
Cheers,
Marius
