I have found that I always have to answer `y' to the query about whether to take the server offline, or Gnus (at least the nnimap backend) gets horribly confused. Then I have to fix the problem, put the server back online, and retry. I'd like Gnus to give me a yes/no/retry option when asking about taking the server offline. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
