Subject: imap.web.de trouble

Message-ID: <boc2kf$28l$1@news.fas.harvard.edu> (raw)

I would like to use gnus as an imap mail reader and could succesfully 
use one of my remote imap mail boxes. However, if I try to use 
imap.web.de as a server with nnimap in a mail group, I have various 
problems ranging from reporting extremely high numbers of messages 
(10e6) and hanging when trying to connect. Googling shows that others 
have the same problem. The suggestion is that large uids and the 2^27 
emacs limitation on integers is the problem. Is that the likely reason ? 
Did anybody succeed with imap.web.de ? vm handles it beautifully and may 
deal with uids differently (strings?) but has other issues.

Thanks for reading,

Andreas
