Dear Friends,
I've seen various observations concerning movemail on windows
operating systems, including one last week on comp.emacs.xemacs. But
I have not seen any mention of resolution. Nor was I able to locate a
bug report. If my search was defective, I apologize.
Anyway, what I observe with 21.4.10 under Windows 2000 is this.
I fetchmail to /cygdrive/var/mail/jmadams and setup my gnus email
variables correctly. However, the mail is never taken from the
fetchmail drop because movemail does nothing. I traced this in edebug
to observe the movemail invocation to be as expected:
movemail "c:\\cygnus\\var\\mail\\jmadams"
"c:\\home\\jmadams\\.emacs-crash-box"
Movemail doesn't move the mail and gives an exit status of 0.
I tried running movemail by hand with -v and all it said was something
like "Checking file access".
Is this something we already know how resolve? If not, maybe I can
build movemail and step through it in the debugger.
Thanks for your input.
Regards,
