I just copied this from an earlier reply to try it out. But it didn't help.

Well it used to be nnimap+se: but as mentioned earlier, I changed it
to nnimap:se to try. And I kept it: it turns out that both work to get
mail, under both ntemacs and xemacs.

The problem was that I could only get tab completion for active
folders under ntemacs, and it takes ages under ntemacs.

I switched to xemacs, and gnus works much faster.

Thanks for your time anyhow.

Guido.
