nnimap problems

2011-01-18 Thread Jim Burton
Hi, I am using gnus Gnus/5.110011 (No Gnus v0.11) with the Arch Linux package. I'm using this because I read that it has many improvements in nnimap. My emacs is GNU Emacs 23.2.1. I have two nnimap groups, and quite often (several times per day) refreshing all groups hangs on one of those groups,

What I'd like is gnus to work directly on these mbox files. Is this possible? What backend do I need? I'd say I don't even want a backen
