nnimap update trouble

nnimap update trouble

[Jochen Küpper]

For quite some time I do have issues with updating (g aka
gnus-group-get-new-news) the Group buffer.

This is on my notebook, the desktop works fine. Both are current cvs
Gnusae on GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit) of 2004-03-22
on cm-test.

The only obvious (to me) differences are the .newsrc.eld files and the
fact that the notebook has nntp select methods where the desktop is
nnimap only:
,----[ C-h v gnus-select-method RET ]
| gnus-select-method's value is (nnnil "")
`----
,----[ C-h v gnus-secondary-select-methods RET ]
| gnus-secondary-select-methods's value is 
| ((nnimap "FHI"
|          (nnimap-address "imap.rz-berlin.mpg.de")
|          (nnimap-expunge-on-close always))
|  (nntp "DFN"
|        (nntp-address "news.individual.net"))
|  (nntp "EDS"
|        (nntp-address "bbsnotes.plms-eds.com")))
`----

When I start up Gnus everything works fine, but when I update I get
many messages like
,----
| nnimap: Updating info for nnimap+FHI:Computer/Software/Programming/Fortran...done
`----
flashing through the minibuffer and it takes an incredibly long time
to update the Group buffer.

When I debug-on-quit and press C-g I get backtraces like the following:
,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
|   accept-process-output(#<process imap> 1 0)
|   imap-wait-for-tag(5881 nil)
|   imap-send-command-wait(("STATUS \"" "Computer/Software/Programming/Fortran" "\" " "(UNSEEN)"))
|   imap-mailbox-status("Computer/Software/Programming/Fortran" unseen " *nnimap* FHI")
|   nnimap-update-unseen("Computer/Software/Programming/Fortran" "FHI")
|   nnimap-close-group("Computer/Software/Programming/Fortran" "FHI")
|   gnus-get-unread-articles(nil)
|   gnus-group-get-new-news(nil)
|   call-interactively(gnus-group-get-new-news)
`----

Any idea? Shall I send more information?

Greetings,
Jochen
