Connecting to Hula via IMAP

[Adam Sjøgren]

  Hi.


I'm playing around with Hula (<http://www.hula-project.org/>) - I've
got it set up and can connect via IMAP, Gnus automatically executes
STARTTLS (cool!).

(I do not use IMAP usually; I'm using cvs no-gnus updated a couple of
days ago).

Sometimes Gnus freezes, though. It looks like Gnus sends a command,
Hula answers and then Gnus waits for something that doesn't come -
perhaps. If I C-g Gnus stops hanging.


Here's an example: I've put 256 emails in the INBOX on the Hula
server, and I try to enter the group with SPACE on:

         256: nnimap+hula:INBOX 

I've turned on *imap-log*. Here is what shows up:

Gnus ask me how many articles to get. I say 1 and press RET. I get the
message:

 Fetching headers for nnimap+hula:INBOX...

In an xterm running 'ngrep port 143', I can see that something is
sent, then nothing happens. I wait. I lose patience and press C-g. A
*Warnings* buffer pops up with:

 (1) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error In imap-parse-body 2)

 (2) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error In imap-parse-body 2)

And then in the *imap-log* this is added:

I'm not an expert on IMAP (yet O:-)) - any ideas on what's wrong?

I have tried narrowing it down to a single email, but that doesn't
seem to be it...


  Best regards,
