Some sort of system timeout or a bug in gnus? I see this too. Sometimes it starts working again if I visit a group, other times that fails too so I have to restart gnus. If I remember correctly, imap-ping-server was introduced a while ago to work around a similar problem. Before executing an IMAP command, gnus will do a ping to check that the connection is still alive, and reconnect if the connection is dead. Perhaps the changes to speed up 'g' lately made it take another path that doesn't do this extra check? -- Knut Anders
