This doesn't happen on my Mac. Maybe (setq imap-process-connection-type t) together with --- imap.el.~6.56.~ Thu Jul 10 16:03:59 2003 +++ imap.el Tue Aug 5 13:40:35 2003 Same behavior with the patch. Sigh. I can't think I'm doing something unique here ... surely others run WinXP and NT Emacs with gnus and nnimap. Is this a known problem? Any idea why it works on a Mac and not on Windows? Alternatively, you could try GNUTLS and change the nnimap stream from ssl to tls. I've had zero luck finding a binary (or anything that would compile to a binary) of starttls.exe on Windows ... a rare beast indeed. So perhaps with this I will have better luck. JDO
