Hello

I've got some general remarks regarding nnimap:

I think there should be a node in the manual about troubleshooting
nnimap, which tells the user which variables to frob and in which
buffers he can look for log informations.

Further on, for quite a good part of nnimap's authentication shemes,
you need external libraries but there is no information on where to
find them. E.g. digest-md5.el is neither distributed with Emacs nor can
it be found on the web (at least by me, perhaps others have better
google carma).

A third issue: Moving some articles between two IMAP folders (on the
same serverr) via process marking them and then saying B m
nnimap+foo:group is really slow, while it's ready almost instantly when
I do it with Sylpheed or mutt. Is there anything I can do about it?

MFG Frank

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
