I added the following, comments appreciated. Debugging IMAP -------------- IMAP is a complex protocol, at least compared to NNTP or POP3. Perhaps for that reason, implementation bugs are not unlikely. If you encounter an odd behaviour, chances are that either the server or Gnus is buggy. If you are familiar with network protocols in general, you will probably be able to extract some clues from reading the protocol dump of the exchanges between Gnus and the server. Even if you are not familiar with network protocols, including the protocol exchange in IMAP-related bug reports may be critical for solving the problem. Because this protocol dump generate potentially large buffers, it is not enabled by default. You can enable it by toggling `imap-log' as follows: (setq imap-log t) This instruct the `imap.el' package to dump sent to the server, and everything received from the server. The output is stored in the buffer `*imap-log*'. Look for error messages, which sometimes are tagged with the keyword `BAD'.
