Need help setting up RMAIL

Need help setting up RMAIL

[Duke Normandin]

I hope there are folks still using RMAIL! ;)

I have RMAIL installed and running.
I have GNU mailutils, including `GNU movemail'
movemail from the CLI connects to my IMAP provider and loads up
~/RMAIL.

However, I can't get movemail to play nice when RMAIL starts or when
I do a "g" from RMAIL.

Please! All ideas/suggestions welcome. TIA...

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.
