I finished reading the completed chapter of 33.Rmail but have no ideas about how to read an email.
~/RMAIL keeps empty,
Although, I could get some clues from "33.18 movemail program" and "33.19 Retrieving Mail from Remote Mailboxes"
imap://username[:password]@hostname:port’
/var/spool/mail/user == file:///var/spool/mail/
Where should I place the above configuration?
Following JeanPierre' comments, I revised the configuration as:
;; Reading Mail
(setq rmail-preserve-inbox t)
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("imap://abst.proc.do:[email protected]:993"))
(setq rmail-movemail-program "movemail")
(setq rmail-movemail-search-path "/usr/bin/movemail")
M-x rmail but prompt:
movemail: invalid server response: movemail: MU_ERR_BADREPLY:mailbox `imap://[email protected]:993': cannot open: Invalid reply from the remote host
(No new mail has arrived)
0 new messages read
What's steps I missing?
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("imap://username[:password]@hostname:port"))in your init file? – JeanPierre Feb 04 '20 at 07:32movemail -v imap://etcand possibly add more-vto get more information. – JeanPierre Feb 04 '20 at 13:16man movemail. – JeanPierre Feb 05 '20 at 11:05
