Nope. Gnus really doesn't have any sort of mechanism for getting updates from the servers asynchronously. But it'd be nice if it did. But I guess this can be pushed down into the backends without Gnus knowing anything about it. I mean, nnimap could be using IDLE for notifications, and just keeping track of what the server says is happening. A `g' from Gnus could then be basically a NOOP network-wise, and just give Gnus the info that's already been received by IDLE. I think. However, doesn't IDLE just give info about what's going on in a single mailbox? That doesn't sound very useful. But I dimly remember this being discussed before? There's a new IMAP extension that'll output new data on all mailboxes? That no IMAP servers implement yet? Or something? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
