I went through the manual and think I have figured out what to do. So I put the following in my ~/.gnus: ,----[ My ~/.gnus: ] | ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*- | ;; GNUs configuration file. | | (setq user-mail-address "dan@mathjunkies.com") | (setq user-full-name "Dan Anderson") | (setq message-user-organization "") | (add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-topic-mode) | (setq gnus-secondary-methods '((nnmaildir ""))) | (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "mail.mathjunkies.com" | :user "username" | :password "password"))) | (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.mathjunkies.com") `---- But, when I open up Gnus I have the following problems: 1. The organization isn't set to "". It's using Road Runner -- my cable modem provider. 2. I can't read any mail. I've got my newsgroups but no mail. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help, Dan
