I once posted to the list, got a reply from Simon with some hints on what to look for, thanks, but other things got higher priority. So I didn't do anything. Now I'm ready. ;-) Let's start again. What is the problem you might ask? When I start gnus it won't connect to the IMAP-server. It times out after a while. Trying again gives the same result. Fortunately there is a work around. When gnus waits for the connection stop it with a few ^G, turn on nnimap-debug, or have it on from the start, make *nnimap-debug* visible in a window and restart gnus. (It is not enough to just put on nnimap-debug. The buffer must be visible.) Then I'll get the connection. This seems like a rather odd race situation when Emacs seems to be to fast and needs to be slowed down. But then again there might just be some other problem. The other problem is that I get an occasional "Garbage:" written in the message log when Gnus is splitting the messages into folders. It is just to start gnus again and the splitting continues, as it seems, from where it stopped. I'm not aware of any problem, like lost mail, due to this problem. I'm running: emacs-version = "21.2 (beta43) \"Terspichore\" XEmacs Lucid" gnus-version = Oort Gnus v0.01 imap-server = UW 2000.283 nnimap-version = nnimap 0.131 But the actual versions doesn't seem to matter that much. I have seen this for quite some versions of gnus, xemacs and I think also version of UW-IMAP-servers. Any clue? Yours -- %% Mats
