vm and emacs

[J. Thomas]

I'm trying to access my mail on dante (which I think is actually at
method.deskmail.washington.edu) from a different linux box using VM within
emacs.  Has anybody had any success with something like this??

here is my .vm file (which is sources by my .emacs file), and everything
with a ; is supposed to be a comment (and just shows the various
combinations I have tried).

;; Where to save folders for VM (View Mail)
(setq vm-folder-directory "~/.vmMAIL/")

;; Where to put the INBOX when using VM
(setq vm-primary-inbox "~/.vmMAIL/inbox")

; This specified where the outgoin gmail (FCC) should go
(setq mail-archive-file-name (expand-file-name "~/.vmMAIL/outbox"))

;(setq vm-spool-files (list
;       (concat "method.deskmail.washington.edu:143:apop:"
;                              (getenv "method") ":*")
;                      (concat "dante.u.washington.edu:110:apop:"
;                              (getenv "method") ":*")
;                      (concat "method.deskmail.washington.edu:110:apop:"
;                              (getenv "method") ":*")
;                      (concat "dante.u.washington.edu:143:inbox:login:"
;                              (getenv "USER") ":*")
;       )
;)


(setq vm-imap-auto-expunge-alist
        '(

("imap-ssl:method.deskmail.washington.edu:143:inbox:login:method:*" . nil)
         )
)
(setq vm-auto-get-new-mail t)


Thanks,
jt
