Ok. I understand this. But would it be difficult to change this behaviour or at least add a function to update the agent ? I can start to write something but my knowledge is quite limitted in Gnus (too many things). The trick would be to force agent to re-read all its hierarchy and update it in consequence. So renaming old 'foo/bar' to 'foo.bar' will not impact anything. > > Not that performance only aplly for nntp groups since I recently > > switched to nnimap. > > I'll see if I can reproduce the problem here. My impression is that Gnus tries to download its active (dunno if it is the right term) file for the current group whenever I enter it. On small group it is not a problem but entering gmane.emacs.gnus.general is really really long. > > I have other problems with IMAP though. > > Sorry, you've already exceeded my knowledge of nnimap. No problem :) zeDek
