Hi to all
As I have said before, I can recommend www.rememberthemilk.com (RTM) to
capture tasks and dates on an Android phone as long as MobileOrg for
Android is still under development.
I will post my setup at the bottom of this posting. Maybe it's of use
for others.
There are still two problems I encountered:
1. Emacs needs login information to access the RTM feed. I have not
figured out yet, how to automatize that. At the moment I type in
username and password once after I started a new Emacs session.
2. I start org-feed every hour with a run-at-time function. Every 2nd or
3rd time, Emacs is unable to read the feed and hangs forever, the
minibuffer saying something like "Reading 18 bytes". I haven't
figured out the reason for this problem yet. It might have something
to do with the creation of the feed by the RTM page. Usually it works
again after I have accessed the feed with another feedreader. The
problem also seems to occur every time when the feed is completely
empty. All I can say is that the freezing occurs before Emacs even
had asked for the login information, i.e. directly after hitting C-c
C-x g in a new Emacs session. However, sometimes it works well even
in a new session. The message buffer says nothing. How can I make
Emacs more verbose to track the problem?
Thanks for help,
Sven
Here is my setup for org-feed with RTM. After the above problems will be
solved, I will also publish this and my way of using Android together
with orgmode on Worg.

I still haven't found out how to make org-feed send the login
information automatically. Using .authinfo doesn't work. This cannot be
a big problem for an Emacs crack (what I'm not). Any ideas?

This problem vanished as soon as I subscribed to a pro-account of
Remember the Milk.
