Good morning,
I used to use VM years and years ago, and am attempting to get it going
again.
I've put the following entity in to my .emacs custom-variables
'(vm-primary-inbox "pop:pop-server.tampabay.rr.com:110:pass:myusername:mypassword")
But, when I start VM, I get the following error message:
No such POP folder: pop:pop-server.tampabay.rr.com:110:pass:myusername:mypassword
Anyone able to point me to the correct spot in the docs, or on the net,
where I can find out what I am doing wrong?
I really want to get VM working, so I can try to do everything from
inside of emacs, using VM, gnus, and org-mode.
TIA,
Dave in Largo, FL

You are not doing anything wrong, but this way accessing POP folders as the
primary-inbox never seems to have been tried, and it isn't working. Quite
amazing, actually.
The EmacsWiki page
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ViewMailQuickStart
describes the more common way of accessing POP folders under "Most Important
Variables - POP Server Folders". Please use that method for now. I will get
the inbox problem fixed in the next release.
Cheers,
Uday
PS: By the way, VM stands for "View Mail". And, gnu.emacs.vm.info is the
standard forum for VM discussion.
