Subject: nnimap group customization lost after login failure?
Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2003 00:11:09 +0200 [thread overview]

Hi,
I am Gnus using with three IMAP servers currently, defined in
gnus-secondary-select-methods.
On login failure (^G being one of them), I seem to lose all group
customizations unless I tell Gnus to switch to "offline" mode (I don't
know the exact circumstances when Gnus offers this option and asks me),
so the next time, Gnus will ask me whether I want to subscribe to the
groups (listing them in the minibuffer), and all options like Posting
Styles (to set the address) or the To- or List addresses seem to be
lost.
Have I misconfigured Gnus or is there a bug? I'd think that data for a
server must not be touched or removed when I can't connect and I tell
Gnus "don't go offline". Apparently Gnus thinks the groups no longer
exist in this case "cannot connect, don't go offline".
