Hi, I am having problems with getting Mail from web.de. The symptons were that gnus showed an unrealistic large number of articles for the imap folders that contained messages. Entering such a folder led to an error stating that there is a problem with a TLS packet size.
I could figure out by taking a tcpdump trace while accessing my mail with thunderbird that the problem is quite large UID numbers like e.g.: * 30 FETCH (FLAGS (\Recent \Seen) UID 591821746) * 31 FETCH (FLAGS (\Recent \Seen) UID 606333535) * 32 FETCH (FLAGS (\Recent \Seen) UID 608638667) In imap.el the UIDs are stored in integer variables, but according to the elisp manual integer variables have a size of only 28 bits, i.e. the largest number that can be used is 268435455. I guess the same problem is also present for pop3 access, which I haven't tried. I found an old posting where someone reported a problem with pop3 access to web.de but there was no solution given. Any ideas what I can do here apart from stopping using web.de?
