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. -- Matt
