Yes, it does. I tried it with 5.8.3 and it sort of worked (I can't remember what problems I had). They're up to at least 5.8.7 now so yeah, check it out. These days I'm on a cable modem so disconnected mode is not as much of a priority, but: my machine goes to sleep when I'm not using it, and that means various IMAP connections time out with strange consequences. For example, five minutes ago I sat down to continue reading debian-user which I hadn't touched for a couple days. I was in the summary buffer and eventually Gnus said "imap: no such process". So I had to nuke the summary buffer, go back to the group buffer, run gnus-group-get-new-news, and create a new summary buffer by selecting the group. In other news (hah!) I've made several attempts at using Gnus as my main mail-reader, but I invariably give up. Maybe because it's such a huge hulking hairy beast. So I read debian-user with Gnus and all my other folders in Pine. -chris
