Thanks for the response;

Yes.
But still, large mail directories take 5 to 10 minutes at least.

Actually I have tried this method, but offlineimap has, on a couple of
occasions, done weird things to my mail directories (such as duplicating
about 4,000 emails on the server).

So, I suppose I'm stuck with waiting. I would use mairix as another
alternative, but I understand there's been issues between mairix and
gnus.

Thanks again.
