Subject: nnimap problems
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 19:06:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ipxmf2uo.fsf@sdf-eu.org> (raw)

Hi, I am using gnus Gnus/5.110011 (No Gnus v0.11) with the Arch Linux
package. I'm using this because I read that it has many improvements in
nnimap. My emacs is GNU Emacs 23.2.1.

I have two nnimap groups, and quite often (several times per day)
refreshing all groups hangs on one of those groups, or if I refrsh one
of those groups alone, it also hangs quite a lot. I can cancel, try
again, and I get through. Another issue I have is that sometimes when I
start gnus these groups are checked as normal but apparently have no
messages. I know this is unlikely, so refresh them again, and there are
messages there. When I use wanderlust, both of these mail servers are
pretty responsive.

Is IMAP still best done with a local Dovecot installation or I am I
doing something wrong? It occured to me that connections might be timing
out somewhere and `dead' handles being used?

Many thanks,

Jim
