Hi!

I have used Gnus for mail for many a good year, and I have several mail
sources. One of them is only reachable if I access it over VPN. (Don't
ask!) Occasionally I forget to enable the VPN before accessing my mail,
and the attempt to pick up mail from that particular server will fail.
Fair enough, my problem.

But when that happens, the mail-fetching process interrupts itself and I
get a follow-up question from GNUS, along the lines of ...

    Mail source (imap :server xxx.xxx :stream tls :authentication ...)
    error (IMAP error: nil). Continue? (yes or no)

It seems to make no difference what so ever whether I answer yes or no
to the question. Regardless of which, Gnus will continue to fetch mail
from the next source from the list in my mail-sources variable.

My question: how is my answer (yes/no) used? (Which are the consequences
of responding yes or no, respectively?)

				Best regards,
				  /Liman
