This is another good reason to use offlineimap or something similar to download to a local dovecot server : in other words get something else better equipped to actually do the mail fetch. That said others were saying they use the gnus-demon to fetch their mail - I'm still not 100% sure if the demon just launches offlineimap/fetchmail for them or does the actual fetch asynchronously itself. There is also this:- http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Asynchronous-Fetching.html But whether this applies to email servers I'm not sure. It seems very nntp orientated. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
