Occasionally when switching folders I get a messge "Fetching folder data
..." which might take a long time. I suspect gmail imap may be the
culprit.
My arrangement has 4 incoming folders (local INBOX, 2 remote IMAP and 1
POP3 inboxes ... the latter three normally empty as they are managed by
fetchmail), **a lot** of local folders in several directories, and two
remote IMPA folder collections (normally empty but for spam, checlked nce
per day).
Usually when I enter alpine I issue an "L" command and this prompts me for
the master password. After that usually all goes OK (including further L
commands). Sometimes sporadically a further L command or folder change,
even if in the local fodler collection causes the Fetching folder data
delay.
I tried two accesses on a fresh alpine session ome after the other.
In one I first type G and ^T which gets me to the default local folder
collection. I then navigate the folder screen, access folders immediately,
and can enter also the remote folder collections (instantly) after typing
the master password (once)
In the other I first type L, enter the master password and get the delay
in all further accesses.
Any idea ?
