I am experimenting with 8.1 in VirtualBox, but I discovered that I can't get gnus to work. I just brought over my configuration from a working 7.3 system, but on 8.1 it won't read the mail from the system. Gnus will start up, but it just reports that there is no mail. It did work one time with a couple of test messages, but I have never gotten it to repeat since then. I tried sending a couple of messages and they show up in my system mailbox. I also tried reading my system mail with the command line mail program and emacs rmail to verify that the system is handling mail properly. I also tried using a blank .gnus file and there was no change. I verified with my 7.3 system that gnus will at least read mail with a blank .gnus file. Does anybody have any suggestions on what is different? I have been using gnus for many years and I don't really want to change to another mail program. Thanks for any ideas. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
