Re: Startup issues and server availability

emacs is a single thread application so you will wait while its working.

if its checking mail news rss all at once it will take a long time to
open gnus. what i do is split mail into group 1 news 2 rss 3.

and if you set 

(setq gnus-activate-level 1)

it will only check mail on login. hence fast boot.

than you can do 2 -G or 3 -G to check news or rss.
