mail folder main

hello...

Can I create a folder in mail/private which name is
pippo.pluto <at> hostname.com ?

I have tried :
nnmail-split-fancy        
     `(| ("To" "carmelo.lofiego <at> tiscali.it"
"mail.private.pippo.pluto <at> hostname.com"))

but this doesn't work.

thanks and excuse me for my english) :-)

The following is a wild guess: I once had a somewhat similar
problem. This problem occured because I had lowered the level of the
nnfolder group to 5.

I am not sure if this is the reason for your problems, but at least
it's worth a try :)

                             Good luck

Re: How do you say "gnus"?

Do you know what a schwa is? If not, see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa

Since I can't type the upside down e that is the symbol for schwa, let me
use uh. 'uh' cannot be accented, so gnus is pronounced 
guh 'noose
with the accent on noose.

It's a coined word, as are gnus (in this instance) and emacs, so
pronunciation is not governed by standard rules (gif, for example is
supposed to be pronounced using the hard g found in golf, but American
English proposes that it should be jiff. C'est la vie.) In American
English, Linus is pronounced so that the first syllable rhymes with

I hope so. However, it should be easy to fix oneself. Simply edit
nnweb.el, replacing all instances of 'http://groups.google.com' with
(eg) 'http://groups.google.co.uk'. The country specific google group
searches still work the old way (though there is no guarantee that this
will continue to work indefinitely, or even for much longer.)

No smarter way than fetching every 5min ?

Hi,

This is slightly remote to gnus but ...

My current setting is that fetchmail gets the mails every 5min from
the servers and gives them to exim, who drops them wherever they are
supposed to be dropped. Gnus gets them from those files like if they
were in /var/spool/mail.

But I suddenly start to wonder ... There is no smarter way to do that
? Like for instance fetchmail keeping a live connection to the server
and getting a notice when new mail arrives ? I have the feeling it has
to be possible ...

Cheers,

Well, don't know if your ISP/mail hoster will be delighted if every
user does this ;)

Connection closed

Hi all

My connection is closed by the NNTP server very often with gnus, why
is that happening? Usually it happens when I'm at the summary buffer
reading or browsering articles.

This message appears at the minibuffer:

 Process nntpd<1> not running

When I try to do something after this message, like selecting an
article, I get this message:

 Server closed connection

Then I return to the Group Buffer with a 'q' and hit 'g', and it seems
to be connected since it fetchs the headers from the NNTP server, but
when I enter some group summary I can't read any article.

I have a guess the error is with my server, but I don't know... with
nn it had worked fine for a long time.

Have anyone had a problem like this before?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

send mail directly using smtp ?


Hi!

I have the following in my .gnus.el:

(require 'smtpmail)
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
      message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.163.com"
      smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.163.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-service 25
      smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.163.com" 25 "william_xuuu"
      "secret")))

(setq smtpmail-debug-info t)

When sending mail, i get an error:

nntodo - any need for more than 3 priority levels?


I was thinking along the lines of having 5-10 levels of priority. 3
seems a bit too coarse for my way of thinking about things to do.

1  = urgent + takes a lot of time
2  = urgent + can get out of the way quickly
3  = important
4  = necessary
5  = optional, want to do
6  = optional, dont want to do
8  = would like to do
10 = i'll never get to it

my pleasure.  The biggest problem that i have is a lack of messages
that fail in that manner to test with.  :/
