Can I get gnus to work like mutt in this regard, by > looking at the local copies instead? Is the IMAP server agentized? To check that, hit `^' in *Group* to enter the server buffer. If there's no "(agent)" string behind the IMAP server hit `J a' on this line. The next time you download articles they should be cached on the file system. Another solution that might be even faster for large amounts of mail may be a local imap proxy (i.e. OfflineIMAP [1]). Bye, Tassilo __________ [1] http://software.complete.org/offlineimap
