Thanks for the response; > Is the IMAP server agentized?
Yes. But still, large mail directories take 5 to 10 minutes at least. > Another solution that might be even faster for large amounts of mail may > be a local imap proxy (i.e. OfflineIMAP [1]). Actually I have tried this method, but offlineimap has, on a couple of occasions, done weird things to my mail directories (such as duplicating about 4,000 emails on the server). So, I suppose I'm stuck with waiting. I would use mairix as another alternative, but I understand there's been issues between mairix and gnus. Thanks again. Ross -- Ross A.
