EOF, and then aborts the stream? The folder name where it stops is .../fournisseurs/avocat, and it stops right in the middle of avocat, so I don't think it could be a control character right there (but I'm not a network guru, so I could be wrong). But see below. > Have you tried sniffing the same connection with wireshark, or a > different package sniffing tool, to see what actually goes on the wire? The connection is TLS encrypted, so I don't think it's possible to sniff it. And turning off the encryption to see if it works better is not something that I am willing to do. I think that it's possible to tunnel the actual network connection inside ssh, and execute imapd on the server like any shell process. I'll read the docs and see if I can try this. But reading docs means some time needs to be found :-) Note that I'm not even subscribed to that group in gnus, so there is nothing that I could do to bypass that problem (except renaming the imap folder with icedove, which I'll try if gnus+ssh doesn't work and/or there is no other idea to try) Thanks, -- Rémi
