Subject: Large IMAP servers and active files
Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2012 12:51:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87627vcan8.fsf@maru.md5i.com> (raw)

Current git of Ma Gnus.

I want to subscribe to a couple of groups on an IMAP server which has
thousands of public groups.  My current situation is: only the groups I
care about are in gnus-newsrc-alist.  All other groups on the server are
in gnus-killed-list.  gnus-check-new-newsgroup is nil, and
gnus-read-active-file is 'some.

Unfortunately, I get bogged down when gnus attempts to do an EXAMINE on
every single group on the server.  Some of the groups are causing the
(cyrus) server some problems, and I have let this run for hours without
completion.  Any suggestions?
