nnimap groups and "Updating Info"

nnimap groups and "Updating Info"

[Victor S. Miller]

I recently found that AOL mail now offered an IMAP server.  Thus, I
put the following in my .gnus.el:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml "")
	(nnimap "AOL"
		(nnimap-address "imap.aol.com")
		)
	))

When I start gnus (I'm running 5.10.6 on emacs 20.7.1 on RH Linux), I
see that there are a number of nnimap groups.  When, for example, I
try to enter the group nnimap+AOL:INBOX (the same happens with any of
them), a Message appears that saying

nnimap: Updating info for nnimap+AOL:INBOX

and it remains (I even tried letting it run overnight!).  Are there
some parameters that I need to set to get this to work?

I had a similar experience with the new AOL service with the same config
in my .gnus.  I'm running No Gnus 0.4.  Perhaps AOL's IMAP compliance is
not complete.

Here's some data.  I'm generating an imap-log.  It has a lot of stuff
when it initially connects.  Here's what I get after I try to enter
nnimap+AOL:INBOX (I aborted it with C-g after a long period of time):

29 SELECT "INBOX"
