I also switched to nnimap as my mail reading method. Thus I ended up with nnimap as gnus-select-method, and nntp+news.gmane.org as my only secondary select method. I started reading a single list through gmane: gmane.science.mathematics.fom. This group is the first in my group buffer; after that, it's the nnimap groups and drafts. The trouble is that accessing the gmane group in any way (either Alt-g with the cursor on it, or opening it with Enter or a mouse click) sometimes (not always) hangs Emacs, with the cursor changed to an hourglass. C-g gets me out of that "mode" but after that the group never seems to work again unless I kill it ad yank it back. I subscribed to the same group in Mozilla News and there are no problems at all. The fact that this happens with Gmane is sadly ironic, but of course I can't say it wouldn't happen with a different server and otherwise the same arrangement, because I don't have a reliable "mainstream" news account. -- Optimist: We're only two weeks behind schedule. Pessimist: The schedule is a whole two weeks ahead of us.
