I had this working the past couple weeks but today I can't retrieve mail reliably. I've got a bunch of folders and saved mail there, maybe 200 folders and 300MB of mail. I see it "Reading active file...", and such for a while, then it hangs; after 30 minutes or something it eventually says "IMAP process not running" or something similar. Here's what I see in the *imap-debug* buffer: | | | | | | 7 <- imap-arrival-filter: nil | | | | | | 7 -> imap-arrival-filter: proc=# string="308 NO Connect attempt failed: server may be down or too busy to respond. The last entries in *nnimap-debug* are: 1 -> nnimap-retrieve-groups: groups=("INBOX/in/shenton@hq" ... "INBOX/list/wireless-eng@spinoza.public.hq.nasa.gov") server="hemi" | 2 -> nnimap-possibly-change-server: server="hemi" | 2 <- nnimap-possibly-change-server: " *nnimap* hemi" | 2 -> nnimap-before-find-minmax-bugworkaround: | 2 <- nnimap-before-find-minmax-bugworkaround: nil | 2 -> nnimap-find-minmax-uid: group="INBOX/list/wireless-eng@spinoza.public.hq.nasa.gov" examine=examine And that folder name is what it's displaying on the mode line while it's hung. Here's my server config: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "hemi" ; use ~/.authinfo for user/passwd (nnimap-address "mail01.ndc.nasa.gov") (nnimap-stream ssl) )) I'm using No Gnus v0.4 from December, and just tried with a version slurped from CVS, same problem. Any suggestions on what I can do here? If the problem is the server complaining about overload, can Gnus recover from this status? I'm not having problems reading from the same server with OS X Tiger's Mail.app nor with Mozilla's Mail pane. Thanks.
