Is there a message of any kind? When I hit C-k the pointer goes into `working' mode and never returns. When I force it with C-g all but one nntp group disappears and I have to press `l' to get the full setup back checking the Messages-buffer it only shows *beep* Quit The vast majority of ghosts are nnimap but there are a few nnml ghosts too. Either backend shows the same result as above.
