I'm using nnimap in gnus to read my email.
Each time I start gnus, it polls every one of my hundreds of mail
folders, which takes quite a long time.
I've set gnus-activate-level to 5, and unsubscribed from the folders I
don't want it to scan. I've checked, and those folders now have a
rank of 6, and so they shouldn't be scanned by default.
If I interrupt the lengthy startup process, I see a backtrace like
this:
accept-process-output(#<process imap> 0 100)
imap-wait-for-tag(919 nil)
imap-send-command-wait("EXAMINE \"sites.s\"")
imap-mailbox-select-1("sites.s" examine)
imap-mailbox-select("sites.s" examine)
nnimap-find-minmax-uid("sites.s" examine)
nnimap-retrieve-groups(("sites.linkedin" "deleted" "sites.worth1000"
"sites.google.blogger" ...) "localhost")
gnus-retrieve-groups(("sites.linkedin" "deleted" "sites.worth1000"
"sites.google.blogger" ...) (nnimap "localhost"))
gnus-read-active-file-2(("sites.linkedin" "deleted" "sites.worth1000"
"sites.google.blogger" ...) (nnimap "localhost"))
gnus-read-active-file-1((nnimap "localhost") nil)
gnus-read-active-file(nil nil)
gnus-setup-news(nil nil nil)
byte-code(...)
gnus-1(nil nil nil)
gnus(nil)
call-interactively(gnus)
And I can see here that the rank of "sites.worth1000" is 6, whereas
gnus-activate-level is 5:
ELISP> (gnus-info-rank (assoc "sites.worth1000" gnus-newsrc-alist))
6
ELISP> gnus-activate-level
5
Info node "(gnus) Group Levels" tells me:
Gnus will normally just activate (i. e., query the server about)
groups on level `gnus-activate-level' or less. If you don't want to
activate unsubscribed groups, for instance, you might set this variable
to 5. The default is 6.
