It's really nice to have mailing lists and rss feeds all within Emacs. The learning curve is a little steep, but so far so good. I've managed to get set my gmail account up, but the speeds are quite slow and I assume I'm doing something foolish. This is what I have in ~/.gnus. (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil)) (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nntp "news.gmane.org"))) (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "gmail" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnir-search-engine imap) (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.gpg") (nnmail-expiry-target "nnimap+gmail:[Gmail]/Trash") (nnmail-expiry-wait 90))) (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)) smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "jrm@ftfl.ca" nil)) smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com" smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com" smtpmail-smtp-service 587 smtpmail-local-domain "ftfl.ca") The slow parts are when I hit 'G' in the *Group* buffer. It can take over a minute to finish. I've tried unexposing some labels to imap from with gmail (e.g. All Mail, Important, etc.) and it helps a little, but compared to the news groups, it's much slower. Is there anything I'm missing to speed things up? Thanks, Joseph
