Dear Uday,
thank you very much for your help. I read the quick start and proceeded as you
suggested.
I only put in:
(setq vm-imap-account-alist
'(
("imap-ssl:mail.ethz.ch:993:*:login:<mylogin>:*" "ethz")
("imap-ssl:imap.googlemail.com:993:*:login:<firstname.lastname>@googlemail.com:*"
"gmail")
)
)
(setq vm-primary-inbox "imap-ssl:mail:993:*:login:<mylogin>:*" "ethz")
By what should I have replaced the "^^^^"-part? I found on the quick start
page, that this part should be the same as in the account list, meaning
"mail.ethz.ch".
When I started Aquamacs with the above settings, I obtained:
An error has occurred while loading `~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs
Emacs/Preferences.el (or .elc)':
Wrong type argument: symbolp, ethz
So indeed, there is something wrong. I also tried (same error occured):
(setq vm-primary-inbox "imap-ssl:mail.ethz.ch:993:inbox:login:<mylogin>:*"
"ethz")
which I found here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ViewMailAndImap
Cheers,
Marius
