Unfortunately, sometimes the fetching process seems to hang. In the echo area, I can read something like nnimap read 76k and emacs hangs until I hit C-g. I've tried setting `debug-on-quit' to t, but in that case, C-g doesn't provide a meaningful backtrace, only Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit) and nothing more. Incidentially, that hang really often occurs when exactly 76k are read, whatever that means. And it seems to only occur with nnimap... Any hints how I can debug the issue?
