Recently I decided that it was time to use the Agent - my mail folders have gotten big enough that things are getting very slow (particularly deleting and moving mail between folders). I read the instructions and I _think_ I've done things correctly ... ;;; Make Gnus into an offline newsreader. (setq gnus-agent t) (setq gnus-agent-enable-expiration 'DISABLE) (add-hook 'gnus-select-article-hook 'gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article) My problem is that I just can't seem to find out how to download my entire IMAP folder set into a local cache. I'd love to do that for speed and to be able to index and search my mail. Is there some magic way in which I can start things and go eat dinner while Gnus essentially replicates my entire IMAP email ? My googling unfortunately only produced a post from Paul Stodghill who supplies a patch that makes this possible .. this is circa 2001 http://tinyurl.com/6yvey I don't really know (or think) that the patch will work in the more or less recent version of Gnus that I'm using. (I tried both "J u" and "J s" but got nowhere) Any ideas ? -- Pip-pip Sailesh http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~sailesh
