I've updated it to `t'.

Rest stayed as it was.

I've read the couple of mails I was linking to. I've restarted Emacs (and
Gnus) a couple of times.

No change.

It still takes around 5 mins to find the mail in my `work' group. Even when
clicking a second time in the same Emacs/Gnus session.

I've checked the cache; in /home/sva/Mail/cache/nnimap+me:INBOX.work, I have a
copy of the linked email:

  -rw-r--r-- 1 sva sva   1631 2010-06-28 14:09 28606

I really don't understand the problem.

And, if I interrupt that 5-min process, Gnus becomes completely unusable. C-g,
then g is completely stuck. Going to the servers list (via ^) does not work
either. I'm forced to restart Emacs and Gnus.

And still 5 minutes to find the linked email, in the next session.

Best regards,
  Seb
