Subject: Dealing with hanging IMAP connections
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:18:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <871vjqntqh.fsf@randomsample.de> (raw)

On my notebook, which is connected via WLAN, my IMAP connection hangs
from time to time. When this happens, I completely have to restart Gnus,
which I find pretty annoying. Stefan Monnier posted a patch to
emacs-help which will open a new connection when you interrupt the
current IMAP operation with C-g. I've applied this patch to my
installation and find it very useful. I think this or something similar
should be applied to imap.el, preferably as a customizable option?

Here's the link to Stefan's post:

David
