Thanks for pointing out the problem -- I was able to recreate it. Here is a better fix to the problem: (defun gnus-group-get-new-nnml () "Get new mail only." (interactive) (let ((gnus-group-new-mail-list nil) (method '(nnml "")) (nnml-prepare-save-mail-hook (cons '(lambda () (setq gnus-group-new-mail-list (union gnus-group-new-mail-list (mapcar 'car group-art)))) nnml-prepare-save-mail-hook))) (when (gnus-check-server method) (gnus-request-scan nil method)) (let ((gnus-group-marked (mapcar '(lambda (group) (concat "nnml:" group)) gnus-group-new-mail-list))) (gnus-group-get-new-news-this-group)) (when gnus-goto-next-group-when-activating (gnus-group-next-unread-group 1 t)) (gnus-summary-position-point) (gnus-group-list-groups) gnus-group-new-mail-list)) -- Colin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I have 88 mail groups (all at level 2 (nntp is level 3)). Doing a '2 g' is equivalent to doing M-g on each group, each of which does an nnml-request-scan. That's slow on an NFS mounted spool. I don't even want to imagine the costs of POP. I needed something that would do a single nnml-request-scan, and then update the appropriate groups lines. -- Colin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Doesn't matter... nnml-request-scan scan's the first one, downloads *all* of the pop's stuff and stores the incoming file, splits it and delivers it all on the first call to it. After that, it probably polls the pop demon but its always empty, so its fairly fast... Not a problem. I don't have 88 groups, only about 20 or so, but I don't have a lag time problem, after the inital download...

I hadn't noticed it was doing multiple calls to the pop demon, but your right, it probably is) -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous.
