I have two mail sources (POP), and it looks like Gnus runs into trouble if one or the other of them get "stuck." Recently, I watched gnus get stuck in loop, looking for input from the POP service. It had had accepted my username, but it never got beyond that. I think the server was stuck. Does Gnus have code to check for timeouts of multiple mail sources? It does check for at least one mail source. I've had it tell me that one of them had timed out. Jack
