Hello
Unfortunately under Xemacs (ngnus 0.11) the imap backend is slow
(compared to say thunderbird). I tried for a file to use offlineimap
but it did not convince me neither.
Since some days I gave wanderlust a try and I must say the imap backend
is much faster.
Is there any possibility to port that code into gnus?
thanks
Uwe Brauer

What exactly didn't convince you? At least for me it works just
brilliant with a local dovecot imap server. (Offlineimapping to a
maildir folder isn't that good, cause nnmaildir is very slow for huge
folders.)

Is the transfer of articles really much faster, or just the
display/thread building? I don't think the former can be done much
faster in elisp. One thing I can imagine is that WL uses some
sophisticated caching like the agent does in Gnus (which we all know is
not very applicable to nnimap).

Not if you won't do it yourself. ;-)
