yes, just now, it shows : nntp (news) open error: ‘>>> (error news/nntp No address associated with hostname)’. Continue? (y or n). choose "y", i could not copy error message. but it created newsrc.

after i have sent mail, installed getmail assuming
it is compulsory.

~/.getmail/getmailrc
[retriever]
type = SimplePOP3SSLRetriever
server = disroot.org
username = jinda...@disroot.org
port = 993
password = password

[destination]
type = Maildir
path = ~/.nnmaildir/

p.s. it seems i need to use web interface....
so again, excuse loris

regards,
jindam, vani
