nnimap/Gcc - process imap not running

[David Abrahams <dave@boost-consulting.com>]

Hi,


I have

   (setq gnus-message-archive-group '("nnimap+www.stlport.com:INBOX"))

so that I can follow threads I participate in with `^' and `A T' in
the summary buffer (not that it's working all that well -- `^' often
fails to find the previous message in the thread and sometimes `A T'
even fails until I do `/ o' and mark the article unread)**. In any
case, often when I send new mail it will go out via SMTP just fine,
but then occasionally gnus beeps and reports 'process imap not
running', usually after my computer has gone to sleep for a while, but
not always.  I've encountered various other scenarios where this
happens and it takes quitting GNUs or various similar measures for it
to get its marbles back.  Is there any way to insert a "start imap
and retry" sequence in the entry point to commands which need to use
the process?

Thanks,
Dave

**Now, maybe this isn't the best method; I should probably cc: myself
instead... but it should work, right?
