Re: Gnus header re-scan
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.

Hm, after I've written this I tried OfflineIMAP and I really like it. Till now, it didn't do weird things. ;-) Bye, Tassilo -- Emacs is not a development tool but a way of life. - David Kastrup in alt.religion.emacs - ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

And this was a few months ago, so perhaps offlineimap itself has improved. But I'm a bit skittish with it at the moment. Ross -- Ross A.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ross A. Laird) writes: Hi Ross, Often I need to go into an archive directory to find old email or addresses. In mutt, once the headers are downloaded, subsequent rescans of the archive are very fast (the archive has about 15,000 messages in it). But gnus seems to want to re-download all the headers again (with C-u space, for example), and this can take as long as 10 or 20 minutes. Can I get gnus to work like mutt in this regard, by looking at the local copies instead? Is the IMAP server agentized? To check that, hit `^' in *Group* to enter the server buffer. If there's no (agent) string behind the IMAP server hit `J a' on this line. The next time you download articles they should be cached on the file system.
