Washington's IMAP 2001a), I have about 250 groups that are stored under the hierarchy mail/. Consequently I have as one of the entries in nnimap-list-pattern mail/*. (I cannot use mail/% as the subdirectories are created on the fly.) I've noticed that Gnus takes an inordinately long time to start up. In the minibuffer I see the message "Listing subscribed groups on..." and I have to wait for about 3 to 4 minutes. Is this behavior expected? (Other IMAP clients are noticeably faster on startup.) -N
