If I go look at it, it says: writing/MPL: writing/MPL! writing/MPL! 1-1082,1084-1093,1095-1375,1377-1381,1383-1389 > Do you have any customization when entering a group?

Since I've been wiping the groups per your instructions and haven't explicitly customized anything, I assume there are no group customizations. >>> If this solves it, it is probably easy to reproduce the problem.

I don't know how to characterize "working" except that I know it feels slow to use my IMAP server through gnus. BTW, should I be updating my gnus installation? I'm using o0-15.
