Gnus hangs after connecting imap server

Gnus hangs after connecting imap server

[Dani Marti]

Hi,

Gnus hangs forever just after having connected to my secondary server
(imap). The only way to make emacs work again is to type Ctrl+g and
giving up using gnus. I am using Oort 0.07 but my problem seems not to
be related to the version I'm using (I downgraded to v.5.9.0 and the
problem was still there). All the problems happenned to appear after a
crash of the imap server. The imap server is now working again, but my
gnus is not. Does anyone have any idea of what is wrong? How can I
find out what's happening?
 
Backstrace:
 
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
  accept-process-output(#<process imap> 1)
  imap-wait-for-tag(7 nil)
  imap-send-command-wait("UID COPY 3530 \"mail/pending\"")
  imap-message-copy("3530" "mail/pending" nil nocopyuid)
  nnimap-split-articles(nil "mail.ifae.es")
  nnimap-request-scan(nil "mail.ifae.es")
  gnus-request-scan(nil (nnimap "mail.ifae.es" (nnimap-list-pattern 
("INBOX" "mail/*")) (nnimap-expugne-on-close ask) (nnimap-split-inbox 
("INBOX"))))
  gnus-get-unread-articles(nil)
  gnus-setup-news(nil nil nil)


Thanks a lot in advance,

Dani Marti

If you frob `imap-log', what is in the *imap-log* buffer?  Maybe the
server still has some problem.

Do you tunnel the server via some weird mechanism (telnet, ssh, ssl
etc)?  Then you might need to frob the imap-server-eol and/or
imap-client-eol.
