Subject: Suppressing unavailable imap server by default
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 15:48:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fuotz7lh.fsf@gmx.de> (raw)
Hi,
maybe it is a known technique, but even after RTFM I couldn't find it ...
I have configured an imap server which is reachable only sometimes (when
I have entered the company's lan). Connecting it via gnus takes always
~2 min, until there is a timeout, and the server is ignored ("denied" in
the *Server* buffer).
How could I change my configuration, that this timeout is reduced? Or
that prior to connecting the server via imap there is a check, whether
the server is reachable?
Extra bonus if I could configure it such a way that I don't need to
confirm that the server isn't reachable.
Thanks, and best regards, Michael.
