Here's my challenge: Gnus opens a STARTTLS connection and sends mails without difficulty, but each instance of sending takes about 20 or 30 seconds. That's a while to wait, when in a given email session I might send 20 emails (so, as much as 10 minutes of waiting overall!). Some of this delay may be due to my remote IMAP server, which is a bit slow (I think that Thunderbird hides this slowness by closing the send window before the mail is fully sent; whereas Gnus just waits). I use a remote sending server, and a local Dovecot server for downloading mail with offlineimap, but I don't use the local server for sending -- I've been told that it's problematic to do so. I assume that sending through Dovecot would be much faster -- but is that not going to create problems with online mail services? And, if I am stuck with the remote IMAP server for sending, is there any way to speed up Gnus so that it releases the sent mail buffer sooner, or keeps the IMAP connection open ... or something?
