Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:17:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87iphflgxn.fsf@dancingfrog.co.uk> (raw)

To be clear(er). The issue can be created by:
1. Disabling Gnus agent for the Exchange 2010 nnimap backend.
2. Clearing down all Gnus agent files `rm -r ~/News/agent/nnimap/XXX'
3. Attempting to download all mail via `C-u SPC`
What happens: fails when number of messages is over a certain size.
To work-around:
1. Clear down all Gnus agent files `rm -r ~/News/agent/nnimap/XXX`
2. Ensure the Gnus agent is enabled.
3. Download mail under the fail size limit via `C-u 4265 SPC'
4. Fetch remaining articles with `/ o'
What happens: avoids failing fetch and builds agent indexes so that
subsequent complete fetches don't query the server.
