I'm reporting the procedure I followed: I came to it with the thread `Configuring gnus for gmail' on the present newsgroup: see http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.gnus/browse_frm/thread/354ae098fe8476ac/a76bfac57a60481e?q=configuring+gnus+for+gmail&rnum=1#a76bfac57a60481e . You need both emacs cvs and gnus cvs, and also the packages libgcrypt and gnutls. Cheers, Rodolfo ;;; Mini how-to: gnus and gmail ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; I downloaded and installed emacs cvs; from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error I downloaded libgpg-error-1.1.tar.gz and installed it the usual way; from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/ I downloaded libgcrypt-1.2.2.tar.gz and installed it the usual way; from http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/ I downloaded gnutls-1.2.9.tar.bz2 and installed it the usual way; from http://cvs.m17n.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/root/gnus/lisp/pop3.el?only_with_tag=t-gnus-6_17-quimby&rev=1.6.30.21.4.16 I fetched the file pop3.el, put it in '~/' and did: $ cd ~/gnus/lisp $ mv pop3.el pop3.el-original $ cp ~/pop3.el pop3.el ; I downloaded and installed gnus cvs (?); in .gnus.el I put the following stuff: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; The following line is needed when using pop3.el from T-gnus (m17n.org).
