Partial IMAP downloads have been discussed many times on this list.
Heh... you've been part of such discussions yourself...:-)

I think that's a reasonable plan.  I don't know the agent, so I can't do
the agent cache piece, and I don't know much about generating the
article buffer, but I can probably help with the IMAP interaction and
the backend modifications.

Are you interested in working on this?  Is anyone else?

pop3.el and SSL

Hi,

I'm trying to enable SSL (STARTTLS maybe later) for my POP3
accounts and installed Emacs 23.1.1/Gnus v5.13 for that rea-
son. I can access the server with no problems on the command
line by:

| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$ openssl s_client -host pop3.strato.de -port pop3s

or

| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$ gnutls-cli -p 995 pop3.strato.de

If I put that into an element for mail-sources:

| (pop :server "pop3.strato.de"
|      :port "pop3s"
|      :user "private"
|      :password "private"
|      :stream ssl)

on getting new mail, *Messages* shows:

| Opening TLS connection to `pop3.strato.de'...
| Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli -p 995 pop3.strato.de'...done
| Opening TLS connection to `pop3.strato.de'...done

and then a question appears in the message buffer "Mail
source error ([...]) (POP connexion failed). Continue?". No
mail is ever downloaded, even though sometimes no error mes-

About 15 secs, with 1/6 the raw mhz :).  Looks like it's the code
loading taking the time, rather than initializations.

Are you using color-theme?

If so, please try to convince the maintainer to fix this long standing
bug.

This has been fixed for a long time. At least my local copy of
color-theme.el shows this ChangeLog entry:

Could it be a timeout problem?  We have a rather slow mail server and (a
long time ago, so I don't remember the details) I had to add the lines
below in ~/.gnus to get around timeout issues:

(setq pop3-read-timeout 2.0)
(setq nnheader-read-timeout 2.0)

Cheers,

Fetching pop3 mail


I have this in my .gnus file:

 (setq mail-sources
           '((file :path "/var/spool/mail/user-name")
             (pop :server "pop3.mail.server"
                  :user "user-name"
                  :port "pop3"
                  :password "secret")))

 But gnus borks with ..... pop3.mail.server/110.... No Such Server

 I already tried :port "110"

 So how do I get gnus _not_ to add the /110 ?
