Opening and closing the server from > the Server buffer does not help. I don't know if this is related but I often have to request the group twice in order to enter it, having previously visited it. MS systems do not seem to play well at all with others (what surprise...). Even more annoying is that within a group, when going from message to message, all of a sudden gnus will complain about a message being unavailable (cannot remember exact error). If I go to another message in the group, gnus re-opens the connection. I can then go back to the first message and it works. It would seem that gnus thinks the connection to the MS IMAP system is still open even though it has been closed. Once an error occurs, gnus is happy to re-open the connection? It would be nice if gnus could try re-opening on error, at least once? Just grasping at straws here, mind you. The real problem is Microsoft, in my opinion. eric -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.2.50.1 + Ma Gnus v0.6 : BBDB version 3.02 ($Date: 2012/09/15 14:41:47 $)
