Okay. I have modified several things which made Gnus working to fetch
mails one hour ago. However, when launching Gnus, I receive the
following message:
movemail: Permission denied for /var/mail/merciadriluca (1 return).
Continue? (yes or no)

I do not understand why. Being in /var/mail, and typing
$ ls -al
results in
total 20
drwxrwsrwx  3 merciadriluca mail 4096 2009-08-07 12:38 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root          root 4096 2008-10-30 00:12 ..
drwxr-sr-x  2 mail          mail 4096 2009-08-04 13:19 merciadriluca
-rw-r--r--  1 merciadriluca mail    2 2009-08-07 12:32

What is the dot lock file? Do I have to make chown? If so, who to?

Thanks.
