Hi, list,
Sorry to bother you with my question.
I have been trying to use GNUS and VM to send and read mails. Sending
emails went well in both agents. I have tried to read mails from my
web-based mailbox (gmx.net). Mainly I used VM and tried to configure VM to read
emails from my gmx.net. I could not make progress at all as my vm can not get
mails.
My configuration looks as follows:
My vm searches for mails on local disk in my home directory
(~/INBOX). My VM can find whatever is there (I copied some emails in
this directory for experimenting).
My vm can not get emails from my remote box.
I have got the following pop / IMAP setup
(setq vm-spool-files (list
(concat "pop.gmx.net:110:apop:"
(getenv "m_osm@gmx.net") ":*")
(concat "imap:imap.gmx.net:143:inbox:login:"
(getenv "m_osm@gmx.net") ":*")))
Error report follows:
Invalid argument:
"Unkown service: impa.gmx.net"
Then I tried the following pop setup
(setq vm-spool-files
(list
(list "~/INBOX"
"gmx.net:110:pass:m_osm@gmx.net:*"
"~/INBOX.CRASH")))
VM asks for password for
m_osm@gmx.net@gmx.net
My address seems to be messed up, I do not know why.
Finally it tells me that there are no new messages. THAT IS NOT TRUE.
I KNOW THAT I HAVE 10 UNREAD NEW MESSAGES IN MY MAIL BOX.
So all in all I can not access my messages from my web-based mailbox.
I am wondering if any one can help me go further in using this VM?
Thanks a lot for your time and help
Regards
Mahdi
