Hi Sébastien,
I'm trying to add a workaround to org-gnus.el which should save the
slowness of querying the IMAP server by looking up the article number in
the group's .overview file. But since I don't have nnimap groups, we
have to play some question & answer game. ;-)
Please apply this patch and set
`org-gnus-nnimap-query-article-no-from-file' to t.

Then follow some org link to a message in a nnimap group. This will be
slow as usual, but produce some output in *Messages* that I need to go
ahead. In that buffer, there should be 4 key-value pairs "<var> =
<value>". Please poste these here.
Bye,
Tassilo
