Re: [Mac-emacs-users] RMail

[Andrew C. <ch...@tr...>]

The following information is from the FAQ.  Let me know if you need
more help setting it up.

Eventually I'd like to support Rmail using movemail and fakemail
subprocesses (like Unix Emacs) so Eudora will not be needed.

** How do I set up Emacs to send and receive E-mail?

The Mac build calls upon the scriptable application Eudora Light to
send and fetch E-mail from a SMTP and POP server, resp.  To use this
feature, Eudora Light must be set up to operate without showing any
dialogs to the user (e.g., the password for the POP server must have
already been typed into and remembered by Eudora Light and all the
settings for servers and user identity must have already been set, all
methods for announcing incoming mail must be turned off, and it must
not prompt for the Trash mailbox to be emptied when it quits).  Then
one should be able to type M-x rmail to receive mail and C-x m to
compose a message and C-c C-c to send it.  Eudora Light can be
downloaded at

and is free for personal use.
