I've put the following entity in to my .emacs custom-variables '(vm-primary-inbox "pop:pop-server.tampabay.rr.com:110:pass:myusername:mypassword") But, when I start VM, I get the following error message: No such POP folder: pop:pop-server.tampabay.rr.com:110:pass:myusername:mypassword Anyone able to point me to the correct spot in the docs, or on the net, where I can find out what I am doing wrong?
You are not doing anything wrong, but this way accessing POP folders as the primary-inbox never seems to have been tried, and it isn't working. Quite amazing, actually.
The EmacsWiki page http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ViewMailQuickStartdescribes the more common way of accessing POP folders under "Most Important Variables - POP Server Folders". Please use that method for now. I will get the inbox problem fixed in the next release.
Cheers, UdayPS: By the way, VM stands for "View Mail". And, gnu.emacs.vm.info is the standard forum for VM discussion.
