565 That's a bit harder since there are many possible sources

Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
566 for mail, many possible ways for storing mail and many
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
567 different ways for sending mail. The most common cases are
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
568 these: 1: You want to read your mail from a pop3 server and
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
569 send them directly to a SMTP Server 2: Some program like
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
570 fetchmail retrieves your mail and stores it on disk from
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
571 where Gnus shall read it. Outgoing mail is sent by
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
572 Sendmail, Postfix or some other MTA. Sometimes, you even
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
573 need a combination of the above cases.
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man

parents:
diff changeset
574
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
575 However, the first thing to do is to tell Gnus in which way
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
576 it should store the mail, in Gnus terminology which back end
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
577 to use. Gnus supports many different back ends, the most
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
578 commonly used one is nnml. It stores every mail in one file
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
579 and is therefor quite fast. However you might prefer a one
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
580 file per group approach if your file system has problems with
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
581 many small files, the nnfolder back end is then probably the
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
582 choice for you. To use nnml add the following to ~/.gnus.el:

34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>

729 achieve what you want. The easiest way is to get an external

34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man

732 could use e.g. fetchmail for this, on MS Windows you can use

950 You want Scoring. Scoring means, that you define rules
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
951 which assign each message an integer value. Depending on
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
952 the value the message is highlighted in summary buffer (if
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
953 it's high, say +2000) or automatically marked read (if the
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>

956 There are basically three ways of setting up rules which assign
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
957 the scoring-value to messages. The first and easiest way is to set
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
958 up rules based on the article you are just reading. Say you're
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
959 reading a message by a guy who always writes nonsense and you want
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
960 to ignore his messages in the future. Hit
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
961 @samp{L}, to set up a rule which lowers the score.
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
962 Now Gnus asks you which the criteria for lowering the Score shall
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
963 be. Hit @samp{?} twice to see all possibilities,
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
964 we want @samp{a} which means the author (the from
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
965 header). Now Gnus wants to know which kind of matching we want.
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
966 Hit either @samp{e} for an exact match or
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
967 @samp{s} for substring-match and delete afterwards
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
968 everything but the name to score down all authors with the given
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
969 name no matter which email address is used. Now you need to tell
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
970 Gnus when to apply the rule and how long it should last, hit e.g.
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
971 @samp{p} to apply the rule now and let it last
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
972 forever. If you want to raise the score instead of lowering it say
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
973 @samp{I} instead of @samp{L}.
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man

parents:
diff changeset
974
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
975 You can also set up rules by hand. To do this say @samp{V
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
976 f} in summary buffer. Then you are asked for the name
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
977 of the score file, it's name.of.group.SCORE for rules valid in
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
978 only one group or all.Score for rules valid in all groups. See the
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
979 Gnus manual for the exact syntax, basically it's one big list
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
980 whose elements are lists again. the first element of those lists
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
981 is the header to score on, then one more list with what to match,
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
982 which score to assign, when to expire the rule and how to do the
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
983 matching. If you find me very interesting, you could e.g. add the

parents:
diff changeset
984 following to your all.Score:

34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

1877 got two choices: auto-expire and
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1878 total-expire. Auto-expire means, that every article

parents:

1879 which has no marks set and is selected for reading is

1881 for you every time you read a message. Total-expire
34ba5367ab56 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

1882 follows a slightly different approach, here all article
