Subject: nnimap hangs on a bad server
Date: 08 Feb 2004 19:18:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8765ehqvtc.fsf@caracolito.lan> (raw)
hello
i have such a bad connection: now and then it's dropped and various
applications suffer from it. one of the connection types that keeps
disappearing is connection to my primary imap server.
for a short time i tried to use pine and never really noticed that
connection disappears, then MozillaThunderbird and it kept saying:
"server has closed the connection" and finally GNUS and it simply
hangs now and then. my switching the mail/news reader had nothing to
do with this problem, i was looking for the one that acts like i want
and it seems to me gnus is the one. except for this annoying hanging.
i guess it's not gnus'es fault [ssh constantly disconnects saying
"connection reset by peer" if i don't attend it for some time and as
i said thunderbird was constantly complaining as well]. but still
it's very frustrating to have to kill emacs if typing the article
took too long.
is there a way to set some "timeout" afterwhich gnus would reconnect,
or somehting?
+ offtopic: if you know how to fix the cause, i'll appreciate it even
more...
