When I watch my message area, it seems as though nnimap is usually repeating the same work twice. For example, I just did `M-G' in my INBOX summary buffer and my *Messages* buffer contains: Expiring articles...done nnimap: Updating info for INBOX...done Retrieving newsgroup: INBOX... nnimap: Updating info for INBOX...done Fetching headers for INBOX...done Generating summary...done Note "Updating info for INBOX...done" appears twice. When I initially enter GNUs, I often see the message nnimap: Mailbox modified twice for several values of . Is this expected? Is it possible that there's something wrong with my settings that is causing this behavior? Lastly, are there any clues for me about how to speed up IMAP interactions? Reading news via NNTP, just moving to the next article still seems way faster than doing it under IMAP. Many thanks, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
