Nevertheless, since I've added a new nntp binary server (Astraweb) gnus always wastes some precious seconds reading the active file from this server as you can see in the extract below. Is that unavoidable? This is from *Messages* after starting gnus: ,---- | Opening nnfolder server on archive...done | Opening nntp server on news.gmane.org...done | Opening nntp server on news.gwene.org...done | Opening nntp server on Astraweb US SSL...done | Opening nnml server on david.espiga4.com.ar...done | 165 new newsgroups have arrived | Checking new news... | Reading active file from Astraweb US SSL via nntp... | Reading active file from david.espiga4.com.ar via nnml... | Reading incoming mail from file... `---- On a related note, and proably more important too, I can only browse through Astraweb's groups if I enter the *Server* buffer whereas I'd rather like to be able to have them in the Killed (or Zombie if new) Groups list so I can see them when I press 'A k'. Is this possible? I've tried recreating the active file with gnus-cache-generate-active, also gnus-group-find-new-groups (with one and two C-u prefixes) but I keep seeing only the groups from old servers (gmane, gwene, and my primary server individual.net) A list of pertinent variables: gnus-activate-level 5 (changed from the default which is 6) gnus-group-default-list-level 5 gnus-group-use-permanent-levels nil gnus-level-default-subscribed 3 gnus-level-default-unsubscribed 6 gnus-level-killed 9 gnus-level-subscribed 5 gnus-level-unsubscribed 7 gnus-level-zombie 8 gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method gnus-subscribe-zombies Gnus v5.13 GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2013-01-11 on david.espiga4.com.ar -- Ezequiel Birman
