It's still slow. I use nnfolder, and have around 60 mail groups är 40 news groups. When I press "2 g", it hase to go through all of them, even if only one or two of them needs to be updated. Looking at the mail spool manually and guessing what folder needs updating, and then pressing M-g on that group is infinitely faster. -- David Kågedal Lysator Academic Computer Society davidk@lysator.liu.se http://www.lysator.liu.se/~davidk/ +46-13 17 65 89
