At other times, it says `updating info for group foo' for all groups. This is really slow. If you see the latter, I think it would be best for you to make it so that nnimap says `checking' instead. I think you will observe an order of magnitude in speed increase, much more than could be achieved otherwise. I'm not sure what needs to be done to make it so, but I think the problem is the select method. I have (manually!) set the select method of all my nnimap groups to "nnimap:" (no parentheses!), and this seemed to work well. Maybe you need "nnimap+foo:", though. And I find that nnimap switches from `checking' to `updating info' when doing M-x gnus-no-server RET as well as when invoking M-x gnus RET with a specific level. Oh, well. But maybe this discussion should be in the nnimap list... kai -- I like BOTH kinds of music.
