[mew-int 00558] newbie q: auto check/retreive new mail and mail notification

[J. T.]

Hi there:

Just downloaded Mew 2.1 (Win32), configured it to run
in Gnu Emacs 21.1, looks great. But I can't seem to
get the auto retrieve mail to work. When i say
describe-variable mew-auto-get, it says it is true.
But in fact mew will not retrieve mail unless I hit
"i".

Also, about mew-pop-biff-bark, I did not see it "bark"
even when there are indeed new mail on the pop server.
I did set a mew-biff-interval smaller than the passwd
timer unit.


Part of my .emacs is as follows:

thanks in advance for your help.

--j.t.

...
(setq load-path (cons "c:/emacs/site-lisp/mew"
load-path))
(autoload 'mew "mew" nil t)
