Subject: Timeouts with nnimap?
Date: 26 Mar 2001 19:30:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ltitkwvys3.fsf@asfast.com> (raw)
I use gnus to access, via nnimap, my email on an imap server on a
remote host. Everything else I access via gnus is local to my
machine.
I've been having intermittent problems with my DSL connection, during
which I lose my ability to see anything outside of my local machine.
While I'm having these problems, `gnus-group-get-new-news' and other
similar commands hang forever while gnus tries to access the imap
server for my nnimap group. This causes gnus to hang in a state that
can only be interrupted by issuing a `kill' command from another
shell.
Is there any way to set a timeout for nnimap, to prevent gnus from
hanging in this case?
Thanks in advance.
